Actually the decision of what page to serve if only a folder name is given is made by the server, the browser doesn't get involved with that.

As for it being too many requests in a short time...

#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 100`;
do
        wget -o log <a href="http://corwinforcongress.com/retirement.php" class="bb-url">http://corwinforcongress.com/retirement.php</a>
        grep 403 log > /dev/null
        if [ $? -eq 0 ];
        then
                echo "Forbidden!"
        fi
        rm retirement.php
done

'
That little piece of script downloads the retirement page 100 times in fast succession checking for a 403 error every time. Not a single failure so as it grabbed about 5 pages a second I'd say that's probably not the problem.

However, I have no idea what IS the problem as no matter what I do I can't make it happen for me, all I can suggest is looking in your server error logs and hoping it gives you a reason for the 403.

Do you have mod_rewrite rules or mod_evasive in your site?

These problems are occured some times due to bandwidth restrictions (anti DOS modules)

No Frontpage anything...Arrggh... why would anyone do that!?

I see a lot of this is the error log:
client denied by server configuration: /home/drjimi/public_html/bluearrow.gif

Do you have accesss the server error logs? They can often provide a little more insight into the issue?

Do you have Frontpage Extensions installed? I have seen problems like this with FP Ext before.

It seems like I have also seen something about FF loading pages too fast. I will try to find out where I have seen that.

I'm still having timeout and image not displaying with FF as well, last time I update to new version of anything

Well it's still happening, but for now I'm going to say it's an odd FF issue. Because it doensn't happen with Mozilla or with Netscape 8 set to use the Firefox rendering engine.

Very strange indeed.

browser will automatically go thru a list of defaults, index (htm, html, php ..) default ... so need need to set it

Do you have any .html pages on the site? if so do they get effected the same way?

you reckon both .htaccess files are empty? do you have a httpd file in root?
Normally you can view folders and the htaccess file itself, the only way to block it is from server setting - usually via htaccess.

It's weird but my guess is there is a file your unaware of and FF is timing out and causing this file not to load properly.
I get some of my sites (viewed online) displaying without stylesheets, but re appears on reload.

Roo — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 09:50:58 +0000

I have an .htaccess in the root, and about an hour ago I put one in the pMachine directory...both are empty. Permissions on both are set to 644.

Should I do something with either one of those .htaccess files.

There is no index.html file, only an index.php....should I try adding an index.html and then do this in the .htacess maybe? >>>DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

Busy — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 09:33:06 +0000

Do you use a htaccess file on this site? (i get forbidden if trying to access it), if so any errors in there?

Last few months I have had issues with FF, seems a lot of pages time out (error loading this page ...) even thou I see the page start to load. Different error to yours but still a load error.

All pages seem to load ok on FF here, even the 404 on events.php works

Very strange! I've been using this version of Firefox forever with no issues except for what's happening with this site!
