Hi,
I have made s simple site (for practice) and used the method outlined by Jamie Pittock to put my templates in a folder called assets in the site root. I also created a new folder called uploads and placed that there as well.
so in the site root I have the following folder/file structure
assets
system
images
themes
uploads
index.php
.htaccess
The problem I have is if I go to the url http://site.com.au/assets I can access the folder and see all templates etc. I have checked permissions and they are the same as every other folder.
If I try to go to the uploads folder I created I get the expected “Directory access is forbidden” message.
Would anyone have any idea what Ive screwed up to allow that to occur?
