Hi All,

hi i have created a folder with files via plesk plesk onyx 17.5.3 update no 40 under files under httpdocs and have created this with a password protection via plesk htacess. If I now call this folder on the broser I get the error code Server Error 403
Forbidden

You do not have permission to access this document.

In the log files this is written here:
[Sun May 20 16: 30: 09.110965 2018] [carindex: error] [pid 22728] [client 88.152.186.42:37460] AH01276: Can not serve directory / var / www / vhosts / MyDomain / httpdocs / imageserver / update_scripts /: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html, index.cgi, index.pl, index.php, index.xhtml, index.htm, index.shtml) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive
what can I do to call the folder with password protection?

Many Thanks !

This error means that you don't have a index page for your directory (index.html, index.php etc.). By default, Apache refuses to list the contents of a directory when there is no index file.

You can either create an index file in your directory or enable directory listing by creating a file named ".htaccess" in your directory with the content "Options +Indexes" (without the quotes).
