Public_html + listing 1

[axman505]

How do i allow users on my linux server to be able to list directories? If you try to access a directory without a index.htm it just says forbidden access, but if there is a index.htm file there it will load that.

Any Ideas?

Hi,

You would use the 'Indexes' option within the directory container in httpd.conf or htaccess file (you'd have to allow overrides for the latter). For example :

<Directory /var/

http://www/html/docs>

Options +Indexes
</Directory>

That would give a listing of files in the directory providing there was no DirectoryIndex file present (e.g., index.html) .

You would probably also want to have the following set globally :

IndexOptions FancyIndexing

Hope this helps

THanks .. i just added Options Indexes MultiViews to the Directory part and it works great. THanks again
