Hey everybody, I'm running Apache on DSL, and I've hit a snag trying to get a forum to work on it. How would one go about letting clients access subdirectories in the main site directory? My main directory is /var/www and I want to allow access to /var/www/cgi-bin and /var/www/forum. I just don't understand how to make it work. Instead of letting me access the folders, I get a 403 forbidden error. Any help would be appreciated.

The sledgehammer approach would be to enable permissions for all directories and files there.  Not the best answer, security wise but it should work.

chmod 777 -R /var/www

OK, I can now access subdirectories in my server. Now I have another problem. I'm trying to install the simple machines forum on it, and I have installed the debian libapache-mod-php4_4.3.10 file, but whenever I go to /finalforum/install.php to start the install, I get the option to download the file. WHat am I doing wrong that it doesn't just open it?
