I am using the HTTP server in V5R1 and have several welcome files fordifferent URL's that have worked fine for many years. Yet I cannot geta new one to work.


If I use

http://www.osj.org.uk/OSJ_Home.htm

I access the home page correctly.  Clearly my pass statement is working.

If I just use

http://www.osj.org.uk

then I get

Error 403
Directory browsing failed - access forbidden

The welcome statement in my HTTP configuration reads -

 Welcome OSJ_Home.htm www.osj.org.uk

It is the last line and follows other, apparently similar, welcomestatements.

I know that I must have made a most elementary error but I cannot seeit. Please can anyone help?


Many thanks
