Forbidden Request

[webhost1]

I need help in finding out why I have 2 links that have forbidden request by them. I get this when I use a program called Xenu.

http://www.yourweb.info/health/
http://www.yourweb.info/health/healthtips.htm

This is one of them. The other can wait. I figure once I know the reason for this I can fix the other as well.

I have gone over the both of these files from top to bottom I don't know how many times trying to find any type of code I might have put in by accident. I am not sure if my users can see either of these pages with this forbidden request.

Anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?

--> if you want this page to be displayed when calling
http://www.yourweb.info/health/
then you need to modify your virtual host configuration. But I don't think you want to do this.

When you call a directory, the server tries to find a file which is configured as "directory index", in almost all cases index.htm, index.html, index.php and so on. If such a file isn't there, you get that "Forbidden" error.

So: either rename healthtips.htm into index.htm or add healthtips.htm to the list of directory indeces (via your virtual host config or a .htaccess file, if your hosting service allows this.)
