Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /littlecuties/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

how do i remove this?
(my website btw)

I want it to display the directory
it only works if i make it a index.html...
I am using godaddy (domain + free hosting, with domain.)
 
GoDaddy hosting? *shudder* Best contact them and ask what's up. My uneducated guess is that for some reason, your read-write permissions on the server for that folder are revoked, or damaged, or whatever. If it's a Unix server, it should be a simple permissions fix; if it's Windows...er...pray? :meh:

Chances are you'll need to set up a .htaccess file which allows the directory to be read without an index file.

Try creating or modifying a file in that directory called .htaccess and add the following directive:

Options +Indexes

Or if that doesn't work, try:

IndexIgnore *

Save the file and try again. You will also need all-read privs on the directory that you're trying to link to.

As to why your error document is giving you a 404, can't help you there.
 
Thanks Ruffus, Worked for me :)

(Options +Indexes)
