QUESTIONs
I'd like to know
why I am getting Network error: 403 Forbidden in firebug for files
that I am not trying to access?
is it likely to cause any serious problems on the webserver?
how to fix it.
Why is my browser trying to access those files in the error message?
DETAILS
I’m using wampserver 2.2 to access a folder via the browser. The browser is on the same computer as the server. The computer is running windows 7 ultimate.
When I view a web folder via my browser hXXp://localhost/folder
I can see the folder contents ok
but in firebug I get Network error: 403 Forbidden
I’m not deliberately trying to access those files in the error msgs. You will notice they are in a completely different folder to the one I am looking at.
I check the apache_error.log and see
[Wed Sep 26 00:05:10 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: C:/apache2, referer: hxxp://localhost/folder/
Wampserver 2.2 is installed on D drive.
I took a look at the httpd.conf file but I couldn't find any references to c:
When I look in Apache’s access.log I see
