If you ever get this error You don’t have permission to access on this server while accessing some directory of your site, this means there is NO index.php or index.html file in the directory and your apache settings stops to display the directory listing and instead it gives 403 error.

Most of the servers keep these settings so people do not backtrack the url structure and sees what files are their in directory. Lot of hackers try to know the whereabouts of servers like this, so hosts just block directory listing with “You don’t have permission to access on this server” error.

To get rid of this error, you need to create a index.php and index.html page. Ofcourse if you keep a blank page, and when you open the directory url, you will to see a blank page. Most often this happens while installing third party scripts which do not keep any index.php or index.html file in directory so to use the script, you need to browse http://example.com/tools/script.php and http://example.com/tools/ will give 403 you dont have permission to access the server error.

To overcome this, use .htaccess file and redirect the directory to the url which should be shown or use index.php and put the php redirection code. For example, if you want people to redirect from http://example.com/tools/ to http://example.com/tools/script.php add the php redirection code. You can also do javascript meta refresh redirection too.
