[SOLVED] An apache question...

Robert.Thompson · 09-07-2011, 03:35 PM

Hello:

I seem to have screwed something up on my apache in Slackware 13.37.

All of a sudden, when I enter http://localhost/vacation/ into either FireFox or Google Chrome, I get:

Code:

Index of /vacation

    Parent Directory
    .gitignore
    CHANGELOG.txt
    COPYRIGHT.txt
    INSTALL.mysql.txt
    INSTALL.pgsql.txt
<snip>

I use to get my actual Drupal 7.7 web site called vacation.

Does anyone know what I should do?

Thanks,

probably during the update you overwrote your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf with a pristine one where you got php disabled so, not finding an index page (index.php) for the folder, the mod_dir kicks in showing you the folder contents.
I think you'll have to reconfigure apache.

Thanks Ponce, I did do a Slackware 13.37 update today, I guess that is it.

it's a little reminder to be careful when merging config files at the end of "slackpkg upgrade-all", for not overwriting existing services configurations

You are exactly right! It did ask me and, like the inexperienced Slacker that I am, I chose Overwrite!!!!

Would 'merge' have worked better?

Thanks again.

I don't know how you do your upgrade, but if you use slackpkg you can compare the new configuration file and the old during the installation. Usualy at the end of upgrade, I used (P)rompt and choosed in fonction.
