directory indexing help

[butch]

I have directory indexing off by default server-wide.

When put a .htaccess file in a directory that I want to show the contents in, I get the "Index of /folder" title but none of the files get listed.

Is there a setting that I missed somewhere?

contents of the .htaccess file should be:

Options +Indexes

That is what I put in the .htaccess.

Check the permissions on the directory.

[butch]

The permission for that folder is the default 755.

Should it be something else?

You may need to check the permissions on the directory one up and so on to see if any of them is forbidding others to read the contents.

[butch]

folder permissions look good.

Any other suggestions?

Have you tried the index manager in cpanel to see if it makes any difference?

[butch]

Yup.

I tried the index manager as well as creating the .htaccess file myself.

Are you able to see the contents if you set up an .htaccess in another folder on this user or another user's space?

[butch]

Good question.

It looks like it is a server wide issue as I cannot get it to work on any account.

Nothing has been changed in the access.conf and httpd.conf as far as changing the default values for anything Options related.

Are you getting "Index of /folder" with an empty listing in all of them or the 403 "forbidden" message?

[butch]

Index of /folder on all 3 of the folders that I tried on.

3 different accounts, 3 different folders.

My .htaccess:

Options +Indexes

Have you got this in access.conf?

<Directory />
Options -Indexes .........................
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>


and this in httpd.conf?

<Directory />
Options All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

[butch]

This is my access.conf:

<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

And my httpd.conf:

<Directory />
IndexIgnore *
Options All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
