Re: Addressing Subfolders in Apache

I suspect the problem is not the server. It seems to me that you either have 

unintentionally denied access to the files in question or your links are 

incorrectly coded.

Dear Apache Geeks—

I have a local installation of Apache 2.4.33 on a Mac Pro tower running 

macOS 10.13.6, Apache, MySQL, and PHP 7.1.33. The Apache web server works; 

I can display locally developed web sites in browsers.

There’s just one thing wrong: the server only allows browsers to view site 

root-level pages.  Links to local web pages in subfolders of site root 

folders are not displayed. Instead I get a requester offering to ‘open 

with Firefox’ or ‘save file’. Open with Firefox produces a blank browser 

window with the same requester, with the same choices.

So far web searching and searching the Apache archives have not turned up 

the diagnoses for my system's inability to view pages in local site 

subfolders, so I am hoping that someone in this community might know why 

this is happening.

Do you have mod_dir loaded in your configuration?

Does it also fail if you access a specific file in a sub-folder?
