When browsing my web server I need to type <path>/index.html, if I obmit index.html I get HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

I am using version 2.0.0.20 of Abyss and I haven't changed anything in the Index files so I still have index.html and index.htm specified there. Haven't changed anything in Directory listing either so I still have Standard listing.

Any ideas?

Try changing the name of your index file to index.htm or default.htm....sometimes web servers don't have the .html in the accepted file types.

Another way would be to edit your Abyss configuration to allow .html files...either way should work.

Yes, changing it to index.htm instead of index.html helped so the next question is how I allow .html files.

I looked here:
Abyss Web Server Console :: Server Configuration :: MIME Types

and saw this row:
text/html html htm

Apparently this is not enough, what else do I need to to to allow html files then?

I don't think MIME tye is your problem... it is more likely the index file is not defined in the index files area of the host configuration.

Do you mean here:
Abyss Web Server Console :: Hosts - Edit - Default Host On Port 8080 :: Index Files

File Name
index.html
index.htm

At this place both index.html and index.htm is defined for me.

OK... Have you put some different types of error pages? If so, try deleting them... preview below...

This looks very strange to me. Yes I had specified index.html as a Default Custom error page. I cleared that out and I didn't need to type index.html anymore, i.e. as it should be. Then I changed the Documents path here

Abyss Web Server Console :: Hosts - Edit - Default Host On Port 8080 :: General

from C:\Inetpub\wwwroot to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Gallery but it didn't seems to get that. Even though I stopped and restarted the server several times it still used C:\Inetpub\wwwroot as the root path for my files. Finally I gave up and moved my files to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot again and now I have the index.html problem back again.

I have to go to bed now but I will investigate this more during the week end. Thanks for the help so far and any more suggestions are welcome, good night!

magzak,

Force your browser to get the pages from the server and not from its cache. It seems that your browser is set to use a very lazy caching policy so either flush your cache, change your caching policy, or force a page per page refresh by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+R or SHIFT+F5.

I also thought that was the problem but SHIFT+F5 doesn't help and I have even cleared the cach to make sure. Btw, it can be accessed here: http://maza-no-ip.com/index.html

magzak,

http://maza.no-ip.com/ is hosted by Microsoft IIS. Are you sure you're using the correct server and that you're updating the configuration of Abyss?

I don't know about Microsoft IIS. I am using XP Prof and have installed the latest version of Abyss. And yes, I am updating the configuration of Abyss anf if I stop Abyss you can no longer access my web server.

However, if Iaccess http://maza.no-ip.com/ (or´localhost that is for me) it directs to http://localhost/localstart.asp and displays a IIS page. I have no idea about that but if you access http://maza.no-ip.com/index.html it works. You can also try http://maza.no-ip.com/Turkey/index.html for example but http://maza.no-ip.com/Turkey doesn't work.

magzak,

http://maza.no-ip.com/Turkey/index.html is also served by IIS: here are the header we got when we requested it:

Code:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2005 14:58:11 GMT
Content-Length: 5485
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1
Last-Modified: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 09:20:11 GMT
ETag: "6088649a9d6dc51:e27"


So this is not obviously Abyss Web Server.

Yes you are right, IIS was running without my knowledge. It looks like I got it as a "bonus" when installing MS VS .Net ;)

Thanks for your help, it seems to work much better now!
