I'm getting a 403 forbidden error on my localhost root. I think it's an apache error. I'm on a MBP OSX 10.7, MAMP Pro 2.2.

apache log:

    client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/

I've tried, with cc all every time;

Looking for documents/tutorials on 2.2

Fresh upgrade and install, and reinstalls

Checking ownership/changing permissions to 777

Changing the MAMP ports

changing the apache.conf directory, including trying various Options, from

    Options Includes
    AllowOverride None

    Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

Please help, I'm feeling at my wits end and I'm not familiar with apache Directory perms

Answer

You can try the following method. In MAMP PRO Panel, go to "Host" > "Advanced" > check the "Indexes" and apply it.
