Thanks, Rhonda. I tried this, but it still didn't work. So then, not
wanting to bother people unnecessarily, I read some documentation and
figured out that I had to change the Apache configuration file to allow
.htaccess files to override Options. So I did that. Given that I had
never heard of any of these things before today, and that I don't know
how to do anything in Terminal, it was all pretty ugly how I did it.
But in the end, I'm sure that I put the correct "directive" into the
correct file, observing correct syntax, etc. I've triple-checked
everything, but it still doesn't work -- still getting '403 -
Forbidden'.
Any ideas?
Michael
