Hello,

Whenever I create a new directory in my docroot and browse to it, it says the directory is forbidden.

If I have index.php as the only file, I can access it.

Any ideas?
 
Is the "Indexes" option set for the directory? It sounds like "index.php" is set as a valid index page, but in that case you should see index.php if it exists, whether it's the only file or not.
 
index.php will always show but index.html won't
 
Check the error log. If you're getting "forbidden", there should be an entry there for it.
 
masterlodi,

Definately check the error log for more details about this error. "403 Forbidden" usually inidicates a permission problem with the file or directory that you're trying to access.
