[users@httpd] Apache under OSX -- directory listings denied
Hi all,
I'd appreciate a little help with permissions and that sort of stuff...
I have a working installation of Apache, with the docroot of:
DocumentRoot "/Users/justinfrench/Documents/htdocs/"
When enter the url of a file in the browser
(http://<domain>/dir/file.xxx), everything is fine, but when I enter
just a directory (http://<domain>/somedir/), i get the following error:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /somedir/ on this server."
1. apache is currently running as User justinfrench, Group admin.
2. i've made sure all files within the docroot are owned by me:
chmod -R justinfrench:admin htdocs
3. even though it's a dumb move, I've even chmod -R 777 htdocs
But I still cannot get the default directory listing on a url like
http://<domain>/somedir/
Has any one got some ideas?
TIA
Justin French

Is the Users folder chmoded to let www see it's contents?

Hi,
Sorry, should have mentioned that I have already checked, and this
directive is there.

Please find the Options directive in your http.conf and add "+Indexes"
to it, or change "-Indexes" to "+Indexes" if the former exists.

Apache isn't installed there, I just moved the docroot away from
/Library/WebServer/Documents because:
a) I want back-ups to be simple... grab the entire
/Users/justinfrench/Documents/ folder and burn to CD/DVD or copy to
another drive
b) I wanted the htdocs within my home dir, to make file sharing easier
I'm keen to hear reasons why not, hear alternatives etc, and can EASILY
change it back, but I can't see how that becomes the problem...
TIA Justin

I've never seen apache installed there before... you may consider
getting the package from http://serverlogistics.com. It installs it
directly to /Library/.
