Found the problem. I needed the / in back of the datasheets. Art mike.eklund wrote:
I believe that you must have execute permissions on directories in order to access their contents.

I had received a suggestion from the list (email is on other machine at home) to use Alias /datasheets /home/user/datasheets in the httpd.conf file.
Tried this with no success. Also added the following Direcctive
Options All (Also tried None) AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> All I get is
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /datasheets on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Directory permissions are rwxr-xr-- which should give appache read access if I am not mistaken.
Has anyone any suggestions or examples of what files to modify to get this to work?
/datasheets only contains .pdf files and I want to be able to select a file from a web browser.
