By default it will most likely have Indexing on and if you want to view directory indexing in a particular folder, exclude the folder from having an index.html file in it.
I posted here because i`m a newbie.
I start apache and when I connect it gives me the default Test Page... you know the one. If I put a index.html it shows me that. How can I make it show the contents of the directory.
Sorry my english and my newbiness. http://213.233.86.123:81/
You may have a section like this in httpd.conf if it exists then comment it out and restart apache:
Code:
#
# Disable autoindex for the root directory, and present a
# default Welcome page if no other index page is present.
#
<LocationMatch "^/$>
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>
Also in your httpd.conf file make sure you have this, the words in bold added that is:
Code:
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
You will need to chang ethe DocumentRoot directive and the <DIRECTORY> entry for the current location to that of the new one. Remember that your files/folders will need to be readable by the user "apache".
