[users@httpd] Re: my httpd.conf file
[Oops, I didn't realize you sent the httpd.conf to me personally, and not
to the list. I understand why you did it, but it is something I strongly
discourage in general. Here I am copying my answer to the list.]

Here you turn Indexes off, but it doesn't matter because all options where
off to begin with (see above):
> <Directory /www/>
> Options -Indexes
> </Directory>
Here you turn Indexes back on again:
> <Directory "/www/public">

I don't see what the mystery is.
I'll repeat this for the third (or perhaps fourth) time:
If you want Indexes off and you can't figure out how to do it, start by
removing EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE of "Indexes" in EVERY SINGLE Options line
in httpd.conf.
Then if you want to selectively turn Indexes back on, you can carefully do
so.
Good luck.
Joshua.

OK I just removed the index option from the line you
said to. Being new to apache I did not realize that
was affecting the complete file. I thought it was just
that one line.
I thought the options in the individual directory
listing was the only control place.
It appears to be working as needed now.
Thank you all to those who offered advice and help.
Now on to other configuration challenges. Like virtual
web sites etc. :{)
