Hello, I have been trying since long to configure my httpd.conf file (v2.2) so as to get a directory listing of contents when an directory index file (like index.html) is not found, but I haven't been successful as of yet. I did make sure that I follow all the instructions given over at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options, but still nothing seems to work in my case. Here is what I get in my browser when ever I try to access a folder (in my directory root) without an index file but with other content, like images, files, etc.: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. Error 403 Here is an excerpt from my httpd.conf: <Directory /> Options All MultiViews IndexOptions FancyIndexing AllowOverride All </Directory> # # Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow # particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as # you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it # below. # # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # <Directory "/var/www/html"> # # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews IndexOptions FancyIndexing # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride All # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Does anyone has a clue what's wrong with this code? If anybody wants, I'll post the entire config file here. Thanks. -- Anurag Bhandari --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
