Default.php Page not working

[markwilliams]

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help, when i try to use default/index.php as default pages on my website i get the following error returned from the server:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache/1.3.27 Server at thesuperego.com Port 80

I've a look on apache.org and cant find anything.

Thanks in advance.

if this is a default apache installation, it will not look for index or default.php. you must edit your httpd.conf file to specify index.php and default.php as index pages.
in httpd.conf you may see something like this:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
</IfModule>

just add all the default files you want into that

or use a .htaccess file in the same directory and inside it put
DirectoryIndex index.php

hope that helps, gotta run now.
