Website directory listing

Yes php is disabled, I'm not planning to use it, by why do I have to remove those lines to get the indexes to work?

But you tried to access a .php page, so this does not make any sense. if you have .php pages in the websites and want to access thejm, then php has to be enabled. Otherwise the lines have to pe present as it is a security risc to access a .php page with php disabled as it can contain passwords and other security relevant information in cleartext.

by why do I have to remove those lines to get the indexes to work?

This has nothing to do with indexes.

No you have misuderstood, with the php lines removed, I goto http://mysite.com/uploads/ and I get a directory list, which is what I want, however, with the php lines I goto http://mysite.com/uploads/ and I get the error:

[Fri Mar 27 16:14:08 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/mysite.com/web/uploads/index.php

I do not know why it is looking for index.php :s

The php issue seems to have dissolved, but I still cannot understand why I get an options not allowed here error, when I use a .htaccess with "options +indexes", even tho I have allowoverride indexes in the vhost file

You can not set options +indexes in a .htaccess files as thos would be a very big security hole. You can set options +indexes instead in the apache directives field of the website.

Thanks Till that works, but only if I enable php, otherwise I get the 403 index.php error, when requesting a directory listing for some strange reason...
