Problem with autoindexing

[MJCfromCT]

Hi all,

I'm new to Apache, and am trying to configure my web server, but have run into a small problem.

I have a FC3 server up and running with Apache 2.0, configured for individual users webspace.

My problem is that when i go to http://location.of.server/~username/folder, i get a 403 forbidden error.

However, if i go to http://location.of.server/~username/folder...e_in_folder.txt, I am able to open it just fine. As far as I know, all the permissions for the files and folders are correct, but i'll be double-checking those.

Also, what is interesting is if I go to http://location.of.server/folder, I am able to view the contents of that folder (It seems as though autoindexing is working for the base web directory, but not for the individual users' webspace. If you need me to post any more details, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Without more info on your server configuration, it's very hard to tell what the problem might be. Is this a hosted server, or one that you control?

Guesses: First thing I'd do is add Options +Indexes in httpd.conf or .htaccess to make sure those subdirs have indexing enabled. For that to work, you'll need AllowOverride Indexes Options in the httpd.conf <directory> container at minimum.

Thanks for the reply jdMorgan.

This is a server which I have full control over. I'll be checking the things you listed and will post back shortly.
