I use apache 2.0.52. I found a message in the archive and learned that the easiest solution is to upgrade to 2.2 and use the ShowForbidden IndexOption. thanks for the response -----Original Message----- From: Boyle Owen [mailto:Owen.Boyle@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 5:39 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Require user and directory listing problem > -----Original Message----- > From: M.

IIRC, the behaviour was changed between apache 1.3 and apache 2: apache 1.3: protected or forbidden dirs were listed, but could not be accessed (401 or 403) apache 2: directories not listed if access restricted by mod_auth or mod_access. Check back in the archives, there was some debate about making this behaviour optional/switchable...
