> [Wed Nov 15 10:15:01 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory indexforbidden by rule: /usr/admserv/html/You get that error when there is no index.html file and the directory index is turned off. If you put an Options -Indexe .htaccess file in any directory without a default index.html index.htm index.shtml file, you'll get the same error in the logs. In this case, I believe the www.domain.tld/.cobalt/ directory is the one someone is trying to get to or a spider is trying to hit.
I guess I should have mentioned that I get the error message every 15 minutes on the dot. Might I presume that there is a process running on the server that is trying to access that directory. If that is so, how would I find the process? If it is not so, what would be trying to access /usr/admserv/html/ every 15 minutes?
Thanks again for the help. I have placed an index.html file in the directory and I will wait 15 minutes to see what happens. I am still curious as to why I get that error every 15 minutes for anyone who might have more suggestions.
(sorry if this post appears twice, my email client's stupid user made a booboo, it won't happen again)
