This is not necessarily a permissions problem - a mod_access "Deny" also
gives this message. That's why it's important to check the error logs.

OK - here's the problem. You are attempting to invoke a directory as if
it were a script. That is, you're trying to "execute" the directory
(obviously, that can't be done). I guess you have a misconfiguration
(ScriptAlias pointing to that dir, or AddHandler)? I actually can't
think how you can get that to happen... congratulations.

NB - that's yet another way to get a "forbidden" message; hence the
importance of error logs.
