[users@httpd] Make directory available via http

Hello,

I want my ftp directory to be viewable via http.  How is this possible under apache?

I've setup a virtual host that points to my ftp directory.  When I view the ftp site through my browser, I get a forbidden error.
It says that either the directory is read protected or I don't have an index file.  Is it possible for apache to generate the index
file itself such that it would display the contents of the ftp directory?

The directory is /var/ftp

/var/ftp  has permission bits 755
/var has permission bits 755

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Carlo

    Well, I guess if you don't have an index.ht* file then the directory contents are displayed unless you have touched some of the original configuration of Apache 2.0 (in referring to this version).
     
    So I mean, that if you install apache and you set a directory below your web root and this directory doesn't have an index file, then the ftp (based on web or webfolders) are displayed.
     
    Try it and tell me.

[users@httpd] System shutdown all the time

Posted by Alfredo Gómez Grande <ag...@agsoftware.net>.
Apache2  is shutting down my computer at least twice a day. Two possible
causes:

I configured (in Windows) the Apache service to restart on every faliure.
Maybe the problem is due to this.

Or, I'm suffering a D.O.S (Denial of Service) attack, which consecuences I
don't know.

But the most worriying stuff is when the system turns on, after a scandisk,
it says: "Windows has recovered from a serious crash", and the reporting
stuff to Microsoft begins. So I'm worried because I need something reliable
and stable.

¿Do I leave the service as it was by default=no action on faliure?
¿Is there any other problem of the same nature reported by other user?

My system is Windows XP Home totally parched.

Cheers
Alfredo Gómez
