Talking Directory Tree Question


HELP ME!!

I need some help... the server that i am on wont allow automatic directory tree's.. it comes up at 403 error. i have a folder of pictures and it has 84 of them i dont want to create a seperate page with all the links to all the pics so i just wanted a file that people can click each img in the directory. I posted to our support list to see if anyone could help me and they still havent replyed. so i guess i am on my own about figuring this one out...

can someone help me on setting the directory tree up?
it would greatly appriciate it...

please e-mail me at mermaid@quasar.net asap!!!

What server is it?
Do you have access to reconfigure it?
How about one of the many photo album scripts out there? (search http://freshmeat.net/)

yes i have access to the server it is my moms... she said i needed to override the apache default... she doesnt know how to do this. we had set the default to not allow directory trees because of clients reading other peoples private files.. cuz we have 2 web designers who want to keep their php shopping cart codes a secret from eachother and mysql db passwords and stuff.. the guy who used to be her systems admin is no longer with us and i believe he is the one who set the apache default that way...

im not gonna ask him how to make one cuz i dont like him....

Turning directory browsing won't do a great deal to stop them from looking at each others scripts.... at least not if they were reasonably secure files which didn't let you look at the contents of config files directly.

Assuming the server is set to allow overrides you can just create a .htaccess file in the top level directory of your site (e.g. ~/public_html/.htaccess) and stuff apache directives in it. (e.g. Options Indexes).

The apache manual is good, http://httpd.apache.org/ and the httpd.conf file is well commented.
