Lance,
   Thanks for the response. Some stuff is +x, some was not so I changed
it all but no change.

   I got some instructions along time ago about how to take a default
Apache installation and just make it do a single page. What I was told
to do was put my documentation directory, so that's where I'm running
this from today. It's seems like a funky way to do things, but it does
resolve the index.html file when I go to http://marksmusic.blah.blah

As you can see the files directory is excessively executable. 

Inside of files I have some audio and some directories.

What happens right now is that I can access the files if I know the name
ahead of time, like 

http://marksmusic.blah.blah/files/Glass1.mp3

This will grab the file and play it. However I cannot get files itself
to be viewable


http://marksmusic.blah.blah/file

returns

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /files/ on this server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
