Hi, I was adapting some old apache.conf files today. I wanted to use mod_autoindex, and I know it worked with these configuration files previously (perhaps with an older version of Apache). But I kept on getting 404 errors instead of directory listings. After some web searching, I found this page: http://fabien.agranier.com/en/apache-options-indexes-ignored-by-apache-2-4/ "If you started using Apache 2.4, you may have noticed auto indexes are not working anymore, [...] It turns out you now need to disable DirectoryIndex in order to have auto indexes working." DirectoryIndex itself depends on mod_dir. So... mod_autoindex will load, its directives will parse without error, static files will be served, yet GETting a directory will result in a 404 error, with no details in the error log (even with LogLevel debug) as to why mod_autoindex is not generating dynamic indexes. Undocumented, silent failures can be frustrating to diagnose. Perhaps the mod_autoindex documentation could be improved to include: 1) an explicit explanation of mod_autoindex's dependency on mod_dir and DirectoryIndex 2) a sample, minimal, functioning configuration of mod_autoindex https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_autoindex.html (Aside: is there even any way to use mod_autoindex without mod_dir?) Thanks!
