[users@httpd] forbidden problem

hello !
I'm very new to apache so sorry with my newbie question...
I'v just build apache, and it seems to work well, exept that whatever is 
in htdocs directory, my browser (local) always reply ' Forbidden   You 
don't have permission to access / on this server. '

i've parsed the httpd.conf and tried some modifications (with the 
manual) without success... can someone put me on the right direction 
please ?

i'm running apache 2.0.49 + php 4.3.x on a fedora core 2 box.
(using the src from apache.org, not the rpm)

thx.

vince.

Not quite.
DyrectoryIndex serves to say what files are expecetd to be used when you 
access a directory whitout specifying a file 
(http://www.mysite.com/homedir as opposed to 
http://www.mysite.com/homedir/index.html).
If the error is "not allowed", either you have Windows XP with bad 
permissions or UNIX with bad permissions.

Check with "ls -la" the permissions of your HomeDir.
Personally, I would bet on that :-)

I'm guessing, that you need a DirectoryIndex directive.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex

If you post a conf file and let us know what error you get in the logs and
what URL you're actually trying to access, someone will be able to say for
sure.
