when you install fresh copy of vbulletin you know if you have it like this

domain.com/forum/

It should come up

But i have to type

domain.com/forum/index.php

for mine to display

How can i get it to show when people just type

domain.com/forum/

Make sure there is no index.HTML in your root.

Forbidden

It looks like apache doesn't want to recognize .php extensions for indexes and not sure about the error.

Check your .htaccess files. Also, you may also need to add a index file directive.

Is the webserver configured correctly to allow index.php as a default pagename?
