How to list a directory with no html file

[pebkac]

I have a directory on my web server that I have a bunch of drivers on, I dont want to make a page for them I just want to be ale to give the address out, like www.mydomain.com/some/directory/withfileshere

and have it just list all the files there and when someone clicks on of them it initiates a download. Right now If I try that I get a permission denied, I'm assuming because the directory does not have a html page to display?

You have to enable indexing for this vhost, e.g. by adding something like this to the apache directives field:

<Directory /var/www/client1/web8/web>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

The path must match the directory path of this web.

I tried this and it still don't work. I keep getting this:


ERROR 403 - Forbidden!
The following error occurred:

You are not permitted to access the requested URL.

Please contact the webmaster with any queries.



Please help, as I need this working as well.

I'm really trying to figure this out on my own and it is getting very frustrating. So i disabled all options in ISPConfig for the site I'm trying to get to work. Then I enabled everythign I need for this site, and under the apache directives I have this:

<Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web>
Options Indexes
</Directory>

I've tried with the plus and without, I think I dont need the plus since nothing is in the directives. I cannot see what is wrong here.

Is the directory set to mode 755?

[pebkac]

Yes it is, I even did 777 for good measure:
drwxr-xr-x 3 web2 client1 4096 2009-07-06 06:40 usb


Here is the error message in the log file:

Any ideas?????

You missed to add the code that I posted above. As your path is /var/www/exeba.com/web
, just add this to the apache directives field:

<Directory /var/www/exeba.com/web>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

I did this and still nothing. Here is the vhost file:
</Files>
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web2/web>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

# ssi enabled
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
Options +Includes
<Files ~ '.php[s3-6]{0,1}$'>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Allow from none
</Files>
</Directory>

# cgi enabled
<Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web2/cgi-bin>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/clients/client1/web2/cgi-bin/
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
# suexec enabled
SuexecUserGroup web2 client1

<Directory /var/www/exeba.com/web>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


One thing I do see and not sure if it by design or what, but in /var/www/ there is the actual website name, and then /clients/client1/web# wiht the same sites, would that have anything to do with it? Do I need to tell it the Directive for each path to that site???

Here is the error.log for the latest change...
