[users@httpd] directory indexin
Greetings all,
I have just recently setup a PC with RedHat 9.0 and Apache 2.0.40 that
came with it. Its been awhile since I last used Linux and apache so I am
trying to get back into the swing of things.
The apache server is going to be running a private (if there can ever be
a truly private) website for me and one other person that I work with to
coordinate scheduling and share information about upcoming projects.
I have been working on this for about a week now and I am running into a
few problems. I will only address the problems on the list singularly as
I would like to fix one thing before moving on to the next to help me be
certain that I understand everything.
Anyways, On to the first problem: Directory Indexing
I have configured apache to allow each user a public_html area. Under
that directory I have set up another directory which will contain files
and subdirectories that I would like to have indexed. I have all the
permissions set correctly as far as I can tell. (world read and execute
on all files and directories). Sample directory structure is as follows:
public_html
--> firefighting (this is a directory)
general_course_list.txt (this is a basic text file)
--->Hose Streams and Appliances (another directory)
--->Personal Protective Equipment (and another directory)
When going into this directory to retrieve the index the only thing I
can see is the text file. None of the other directories show up.
In httpd.conf I have the following:
<Directory "/">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
and in the firefighting directory under public_html I have the following
.htaccess file:
Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
>From what I can read in the documentation for Apache the htaccess file
should apply to all subdirectories even if the root directory wasn't set
to allow indexing. But the subdirectories aren't showing up. Just the
one file in the firefighting directory.
Also, before anyone asks :), I HAVE restarted the apache server so the
configuration file would be read in after I changed it. In fact I even
rebooted the PC a few times. All with the same results.
Any one see anything that I am missing or doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance,
Ian K. Harrell

Turning AllowOverride off fixed the problem!
Whew, I can stop banging my head against the table now~
A big thank you to everyone who helped me with this issue, I really
appreciate it!
THANK YOU!!

No. This error indicates that apache cannot determine whether or not an
.htaccess file exists. In this case, it denies access for security
reasons. (If it can't prove that the directory is not protected, it is
better not to serve it.)
Here's what I'd try. As root, su to the User and Group specified in
httpd.conf. Then
cd /home/fireman71/public_html/firefighting/rescue
ls -la
ls -la .htaccess
That essentially replicates what apache needs to do to check for
.htaccess. If you get an error message doing this, you need to fix your
permissions.
The easiest way to solve this problem (though I haven't read the whole
thread, so I don't know if it is appropriate for you) is to simply set
"AllowOverride off" for these directories. That will prevent apache
from
checking for .htaccess files at all.

Try doing AllowOverride None.
That should discard the htaccess files in the subfolders.

Inaddition to the below:
It generates that same error log entry for every subdirectory under
firefighting. I just copied and pasted the one for the rescue directory.
There are 14 subdirectories in all and everytime I try to get the
directory to index I get 14 entries in the error log about .htaccess
permission denied.

Hmm, obviously, you still have a .htaccess in

No, there are no .htaccess files in any of the directories under
public_html. I went through and ls -al all them, no .htaccess. Then I
went and tried a slocate .htaccess with no files found and then I did a
find .htaccess from the / directory and still no .htaccess files found.
Looking at the error logs it does look like there is still one somewhere
but it isn't showing up in any directory listings or any file searches.
Thanks,

In the httpd.conf file there is a line:
LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so
That line is uncommented and it looks like it is loading it up. Nothing
I can find in the logs saying anything about failed modules.
Again Thanks :)

It's a very long thread and I'm jumping in at the end. I had the same

Uhhhh, yes, I did remove the .htaccess files before I sent the last
email last night. Sorry I didn't include that, just shows how tired I
was I guess. :)
So to summarize so far:
1 - there are no .htaccess files anywhere in any directory on the
server. They have all been removed.
2 - I added the alias, changed it to remove the quotes, and removed the
vhosts entries.
3 - error log is still giving me:
[Wed Jul 02 08:23:13 2003] [crit] [client 192.168.1.101] (13)Permission
denied: /home/fireman71/public_html/firefighting/rescue/.htaccess
pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable,
referer: http://192.168.1.50/~fireman71/firefighting/
4 - I have permissions set as follows:
fireman71 --- drwxr-xr-x
public_html --- drwxr-xr-x
firefighting --- drwxr-xr-x
5 - The apache service is being restarted after every change is made to
httpd.conf
6 - The only file that shows up when trying to list a directory is
course_info.txt. None of the subdirectories are displaying at all.
Thanks for all the assistance, :)

You should remove it and let the httpd.conf file to process the

RE: [users@httpd] directory indexin
Posted by Jeff Cohen <su...@gej-it.com>.
So you didn't remove the htaccess file yet??
You should remove it and let the httpd.conf file to process the directives,
also remove the "quotes" from the Directory "...." to be Directory .....
Try removing those and I'll keep on looking into your issue after I'll get
some sleep :)
All the best,

RE: [users@httpd] directory indexin
Posted by "Ian K. Harrell" <fi...@trificient.net>.
Ok, I removed all the vhosts entries that I had added while playing
around with this and added the alias.
Still no solution to the directory indexing problem. The only thing that
will stubbornly show up is the one file in that directory. (I really
think that the sub directories are off playing hide and seek, but then
maybe I am just getting tired :)
I am also still getting the htaccess error log messages as well.
Again, Many thanks
Ian K. Harrell
PS: Jeff - THANKS a lot for taking the time to look at this for me :)

By looking at your file, you set a Vhost that is not being used. That's
one
thing - remove or commit it out.
You are trying to get a Directory to point to your directory
/home/fireman71/public_html, which is not under /var/www/html - in order
to
use that folder, use:
Alias /fireman71 /home/fireman71/public_html
I didn't get too much deep into your file cause I was looking at that

RE: [users@httpd] directory indexin
Posted by "Ian K. Harrell" <fi...@trificient.net>.
Ok, I tried deleting all the .htaccess files. Still I am getting the
same result. The only thing being listed when I go to the directory is
the one file that is in there and none of the sub directories.
My error log is still showing the same thing.
In case it helps I have attached a copy of the httpd.conf file.
Many thanks,
Ian K. Harrell

Hi Ian,
As for a clean start I would say to remove the htaccess file from any
folder.
After removing it, change the Option Indexes to be Options +Indexes.
Second thing, seems that you are being denied to list subfolders
somewhere
in your SERVER_CONFIG directives, check to see where DocumentRoot folder
is
pointing to and follow to get the directives where the Options for this
folder are set, then you'd add AllowOverride All on top of it, that will
allow you to override settings through your htaccess files in the future
and
also will be safe to override changes in the httpd.conf file itself.
All the best,
Jeff Cohen

Hi Ian,
As for a clean start I would say to remove the htaccess file from any
folder.
After removing it, change the Option Indexes to be Options +Indexes.
Second thing, seems that you are being denied to list subfolders somewhere
in your SERVER_CONFIG directives, check to see where DocumentRoot folder is
pointing to and follow to get the directives where the Options for this
folder are set, then you'd add AllowOverride All on top of it, that will
allow you to override settings through your htaccess files in the future and
also will be safe to override changes in the httpd.conf file itself.
All the best,
Jeff Cohen

RE: [users@httpd] directory indexin
Posted by "Ian K. Harrell" <fi...@trificient.net>.
Additional information that I forgot to include in the original email.
In the error log file I get a lot of messages of the following:
/home/fireman71/public_html/firefighting/rescue/.htaccess unable to
check htaccess file
This is what was making me think that for some reason apache is looking
for a htaccess file in every directory instead of letting the htaccess
file in the parent directory of firefighting control the subdirectories.
I also got an [error] directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html
No idea what this is relating to or trying to tell me. The only thing in
/var/www/html is the default pages for apache and all the website
requests that I am sending when this occurs are in user directories.
Again, Thanks

Greetings all,
I have just recently setup a PC with RedHat 9.0 and Apache 2.0.40 that
came with it. Its been awhile since I last used Linux and apache so I am
trying to get back into the swing of things.
The apache server is going to be running a private (if there can ever be
a truly private) website for me and one other person that I work with to
coordinate scheduling and share information about upcoming projects.
I have been working on this for about a week now and I am running into a
few problems. I will only address the problems on the list singularly as
I would like to fix one thing before moving on to the next to help me be
certain that I understand everything.
Anyways, On to the first problem: Directory Indexing
I have configured apache to allow each user a public_html area. Under
that directory I have set up another directory which will contain files
and subdirectories that I would like to have indexed. I have all the
permissions set correctly as far as I can tell. (world read and execute
on all files and directories). Sample directory structure is as follows:
public_html
--> firefighting (this is a directory)
general_course_list.txt (this is a basic text file)
--->Hose Streams and Appliances (another directory)
--->Personal Protective Equipment (and another directory)
When going into this directory to retrieve the index the only thing I
can see is the text file. None of the other directories show up.
In httpd.conf I have the following:
<Directory "/">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
and in the firefighting directory under public_html I have the following
.htaccess file:
Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
>From what I can read in the documentation for Apache the htaccess file
should apply to all subdirectories even if the root directory wasn't set
to allow indexing. But the subdirectories aren't showing up. Just the
one file in the firefighting directory.
Also, before anyone asks :), I HAVE restarted the apache server so the
configuration file would be read in after I changed it. In fact I even
rebooted the PC a few times. All with the same results.
Any one see anything that I am missing or doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance,
