I have an Ubuntu 16.04-5 server machine running as an offsite subversion backup via nightly svnsync from the main server. The main server is based in the office of my company and the backup in my home. Now I want to expand the server's usage to host a different website for personal use also entering via the router on port 443 (using https:// URLs). I am creating a copy of what I have on my web hosting but running on my home server. I have gotten most of what I want to do working but for directory listings... If I enter an URL ending with a directory name Apache throws up a list of all of the files inside the directory which is NOT what I want. I have created a php command to create the display of the dir content which works just fine on my webhosting server but not on the ubuntu 16 server. This is what I have in my .htaccess file in this dir: require valid-user Options -Indexes DirectoryIndex dirlist.php But notwithstanding this Apache2 does not run the dirlist.php command file to get the properly formatted list. If I explicitly run the url ending with dirlist.php it works as expected and I get my formatted directory list. But I want this to happen also if the URL is just the directory itself. So how can I make Apache NOT create the file list but instead run the dirlist.php command? I even went as far as editing the /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf file and adding this to the end of the directory block: <Directory "/var/www/html"> AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Content" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/private.htpasswd Require valid-user #Added to block dir listing and allow .htaccess to work AllowOverride All Options -Indexes </Directory> Then sudo service apache2 restart But nothing at all changes... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
