Apache Friends Support Forum

I've just installed 'xampp-win32-1.8.3-4-VC11-installer.exe' on a 64bit windows 7, and configured 2 groups of namebased virtualhosts, group 1 is under 'C:\etc\xampp\htdocs\', group 2 is under 'C:\etc\www\vhosts\'I can freely access virtualhosts inside the xampp default htdocs directory. But virtualhosts in different directory can't be accessed, please see the browser message below:

Code: Select all

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

I've search and read some relating posts that discussed on this, but I still can't fix my problem.
Hope can get any help!
Thanks.

There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected

Is there a index.php file inside that vhosts?

Oooops, my stupid !!
I'd put a hello.php in it, but not the index.php! Now site appeared when changed it's name to index.php.

Well, add an option

Code: Select all

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

Now can display the site contents.
