Hello all,
I am running Apache2 on Mandrake10 with just the defaults. I have an issue that I did not have with Apacke 1.3. I want to be able to view the contents of a directory if there is no index file (index.html/index.php) I have googled and searched this and other forums for a solution to my problem.
I am able to access and browse files that exist in the directories I go to but if I just try to bring up, for example, http://mysite.com/images/ to view a directory listing of the available images then I get the following error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /images/ on this server.
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.48 (Mandrake Linux/6.3.100mdk) mod_perl/1.99_11 Perl/v5.8.3 mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.7c DAV/2 PHP/4.3.4 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80
I know there is something to do with mod_autoindex but I think that I have everything configured properly. I include that section of my commonhttpd.conf file in case there is something I have missed.

I would appreciate any help on this I can get. It's been driving me insane since I upgraded!
Thanks!
The first would provide indexing globally (replace /var/www/htdocs with your DocumentRoot), while the second would only provide indexing for a specific area of your site.
