Apache Directory index forbidden

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with my Apache VirtualHosts... I can't get the Directory index to work.

The error is:
[Sun Jan 26 10:30:29 2014] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/apache/

But when I check the configuration, it seems like everything is ok.

/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost-apache.conf:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerAdmin noc@xxx.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/apache

        ServerName apache.xxx.xxx.com

        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/apache.xxx.xxx.com-error_log

        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/apache.xxx.xxx.com-access_log common

</VirtualHost>



<Directory "/var/www/html/apache">

        IndexOptions FancyIndexing NameWidth=* FoldersFirst ScanHTMLTitles DescriptionWidth=*

        HeaderName HEADER.html

        ReadmeName README.html

        AllowOverride FileInfo Indexes

        Options +Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch FollowSymLinks

        ErrorDocument 404 default

</Directory>

In the main httpd.conf is no entry available which says "-Indexes"..:

Code:

[root@xxx httpd]# grep -i "indexes" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

#  Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec

    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

# server-generated indexes.  These are only displayed for FancyIndexed

# directory indexes.

Anybody with a clue on this one?

Quote:

Options +Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch FollowSymLinks

The above is not correct. If you use + for one option, you have to use + or - also for the others. Or use just:

Code:

Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch FollowSymLinks

Regards

Unfortunatly that does not solve the problem.

I removed the +, but I still get the same error:

Code:

[root@mirror apache]# grep -iR 'Indexes' /etc/httpd/*

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:#  Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:#    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:# server-generated indexes.  These are only displayed for FancyIndexed

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:# directory indexes.

/etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf:    Options -Indexes

/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost-apache.conf:        AllowOverride FileInfo Indexes

/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost-apache.conf:        Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch FollowSymLinks

Code:

[Sun Jan 26 17:03:05 2014] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/apache/

When I looked at my post above I saw the problem... I forgot to remove the welcome.conf...
Now, with the lines in welcome.conf commented everything works as it should be!

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. :)

Thank you! Solved my issue off this thread.
