I checked the httpd.conf file, and "index.html" is in the list of
default pages.

I tried renaming the "index.html" file to "index.htm" for the
hell of it, and it still doesn't work.

I even tried typing in "http://199.43.143.3/poweredby.png"; to
bring up the graphic, and it still gives me the
"Forbidden" message, but referring to the "poweredby.png" file.
