I am experiencing intermittent 403 errors and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
My .htaccess is default:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
My virtual host is:
<Directory "D:/WebServer/">
AllowOverride all
Options All -Includes -ExecCGI +MultiViews -Indexes
Allow from all
</Directory>
I already tried enabling indexes and setting a DirectoryIndex but then I just get intermittent directory listings.
The error message says:
[Tue May 17 03:24:18 2011] [error] [client IP] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: D:/WebServer/
I thought this might be related to Super Cache so I disabled it for a while but I still got 403s.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
I just moved this WordPress instances from a Mac box to Windows Server. I also updated the version, plugins, and added Super Cache while I was at it. I just made this live to the public - didn't notice these issues in beta but that could be for lack of users. It doesn't happen that often.
