[users@httpd] DirectoryIndex not working
Hi,
I'm running a website on apache. I have an index.html in /link. When I
request the following link: http://localhost/link/ It gives me a Forbidden
error message. However if I rename the index.html to index.htm, the link:
http://localhost/link/ works without any problems
This would lead one to believe that the problem lies with DirectoryIndex.
However, upon examining the httpd.conf file, I get the
following:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html home.htm index.cgi index.pl
Default.htm default.htm index.xml </IfModule>
Which should in theory solve the problem? ...but it does not :(
The permissions for all the directories and the files are what they should
be so I can't seem to think that it's a permission problem.
I also checked the other configuration files and it turned out that the
configuration file for php also had it's own DirectoryIndex. So I
commented out the original one in httpd.conf and prepended the index.htm,
index.html, home.htm, Default.htm, default.htm to the php's
DirectoryIndex. This still gave me the same problem.
As for .htaccess files, there are none. If I create my own .htaccess file
with Options Indexes, then it displays the directory listing. Once there
I can click on the file and it loads the webpage normally...but I'm trying
to avoid that option like the plague :)
What am I missing?
Thanks
Nolan

you must allow directory indexex by setting
Options +Indexes
for/in the specified directory.

That means that indeed the problem is with your DirectoryIndex
directive. Make sure that you are looking in the correct config file
and that there aren't other DirectoryIndex directives overriding the
one you are looking at. Also, remove the <IfModule> and </IfModule>
lines which just hide useful error messages.

That's the access log. What does the ERROR LOG say?
