Common Error Messages

Permission denied or forbidden access errors.

If you receive a permission denied error, you are not allowed to view the page. Typically this results from pages open only to the MIT Community. Unless the page in question is a top-level page, we cannot help you, as we only maintain the top-level pages. If you have questions, mail the contact address of that particular page. If no maintainer is given, and if the URL is of the form http://www.mit.edu/people/username, then mail that username@mit.edu.
