  • This is exactly as it says. You've probably turned off directory listings, and not given read permission to the folder, so it can't be displayed to the user. Basically, it's a permissions problem. Try putting a 'index.html' in the folder, and you should find that the error disappears.

    or you have forgotten to set a valid DocumentRoot. AFAIK '/' is the default value for this setting and that won't work an a Windoze system
