- I want to enable directory listing in apache. By default it installs itself and gives your a forbidden error if you don't have an index.html page in it. I want to have a directory where people can click on what they want and download the file through a browser. I beleive this can be done through the httpd.conf file but i was unable to find it. Any ideas?
Thank you
Nathan

- Yes the option is to be set in your httpd.conf.
All options (there's a lot...) for listing available are listed and explained here (with an httpd.conf in example):

If your problem is solved, thank you to close the incident and rate the expert.

- Oops... It is in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf, you have to un comment like that :
# Also, for security, we disable indexes globally //No more
#
<Directory />
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

- I have enabled the following lines in the /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd file.
<Directory />
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
I rebooted because i'm in standalone and i'm still getting the forbidden error when i try to go to the directory through a browser. I have checked permissions and the group and owner is apache. It chmoded to 0755.

- Actually "-Indexes" turns them off, so remove that hyphen character and try again.

- Have you checked Apache permissions on that dir ? Can you see a specific html
page from the dir (say, http://xxxx/your_dir/xxx.html ?).
If not, then you need to check the various <Directory xxxx> directives on
commonhttpd.conf - many are disabled on default or available just from localhost.
BTW, you don't need to reboot to restart apache - you can control with MDK
control center or /etc/init.d/httpd

- Tensor,
Yes I have checked permissions and the owner and group is currently apache. Chmoded it to 755. I have also thrown an index.html page into the directory and the pages comes up with no problem. I'm thinking this is a new security feature with apache but haven't had any luck finding out out how to re-enable it at apache.org website.

- You should look for the entry for the specific directory for your document
root (by default /var/www/html). The line you changed is for the server's
global settings, but it might be overridden elsewhere in your configuration.
There is probably a set of directives
<Directory /var/www/html>
in which you can enable Indexes.
