index.php and error 403

[oonhs]

Hi, I install phpbb in my site and it is working fine.

When I go to my site
"www.mysite.com/forum/" I get error 403 (Forbiden). I have to use the complete url for my forum "www.mysite.com/forum/index.php"

Anybody know how to solve this. Thanks

Do you have a default page setup ?

If your on unix make sure you have clicked the apply button if it's showing on your site

If not then just setup some directory indexes using the control panel for the default pages you want the webserver to load.

Make sure you haven't set something funny in a .htaccess file either. This file takes precedence over the httpd.conf

I enable the "Directory Indexes" at the bottom of the control panel and
type in
index.html
index.php

So far it seem to be working. Hope I am not messing any stuff there.

Shouldn't be messing anything up, thats what directory indexes is there for
