Allow Directory Listing

[alphis]

Normally to accomplish this you put an .htaccess file in the folder and use the line:
Options +Indexes

but this isn't working as I am still getting error 403 permission denied for file listing. Anyone know how I can fix this?

The default apache2 configuration in gentoo allows indexes.
There should be no configuration necessary really.
see /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include
has options indexes FollowSymLinks

What is the output of ls -la /path/to/directory/to/be/listed?

[alphis]

ls -la in the dir listed in documentroot is:

0 -rw-r--r-- 1 myname users 0 Jul 18 13:47 test.blah


As you can see its just a regular file. Which cannot be listed for some reason.

Also that file:

/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include

does indeed have the line: has options indexes FollowSymLinks

which doesn't seem to do much =[

Any help is appreciated!

Ok I've fixed it. I renamed the file 00_default_vhost.conf to default_vhost.conf and all was well. Well, after I changed settings in the virtualhost directive.

Thanks all.
