[users@httpd] Directory settings

Hi all,

I use apache2.2.3 and in my httpd.conf I included a directories.conf. As soon as 
I include the "directories.conf" I get an error message: "You don't have 
permission to access / on this server". As soon as i remove the include I am 
able to see the webpages in those directories.

As I am using the exact same configuration settings on my older apache and it 
works just fine there I am puzzled what I did wrong.

The settings of my "directories.conf" are the following:
<Directory /path/to/htdocs>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory /path/to/htdocs/ssl>
    Options -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Please, could someone give me a hint what I did wrong?

Regards
Susan Roesner

Start by looking in the apache error log to see what the full problem
is.  One guess is that there is no index.html in the directory, so
apache is trying to do a directory listing but can't because you don't
have Indexes in the Options.  But the error log will give you the
truth.
