Directory access is forbidden.

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi im not sure whats happened but while working on a test site so that i can learn how to use the framework when i goto the base dir it comes up with 'Directory access is forbidden.' but if i type index.php on the end it all works fine! Im a complete newbie to this hence trying to teach myself the framework. Ive read through google but its not helped me unless ive missed something...

Any help or suggestions would be greatful

Cheers
Chris
