/index.shtml Auto execution

[edi00]

I have another problem with SSI which will not automatically execute /index.shtml

if I type domain.com/index.shtml it works.

if I type domain.com/ only it does not work and I see an error message in error.log "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/airpatrol.us/web/"

my vhost SSI enable looks like this:

        # ssi enabled
        AddType text/html .shtml
        AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
        Options +Includes +Indexes

I have added "+Indexes" as shown above and the error.log message changed to "(13)Permission denied: Can't open directory for index: /var/www/airpatrol.us/web/"

And terminal shows error "403 You are not permitted to access the requested URL."

I have tried root/root and client1/web4 and chmod 755, 644 and some others without any positive result.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi edi00,
I am thinking that your working directory is /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web

cd /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web
ls
and see what is in there.

That is where the /index.shtlm is.
It is strange that error is complaining about the /var/www/airpatrol.us/web/ which is DocummentRoot

    <Directory /var/www/airpatrol.us/web>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all

        # ssi enabled
        AddType text/html .shtml
        AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
        Options +Includes +Indexes
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        
        # ssi enabled
        AddType text/html .shtml
        AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
        Options +Includes +Indexes
    </Directory>

I do not understand why the vhost has double directory. I am using client/client1/web4/web since DocumentRoot does not exist. If I want to CD to DocumentRoot the airpatrol.us is simlink directly to web4.

You need to add index.shtml to the DirectoryIndex directive.

/var/www/client/client1/web4/web is the actual directory.
/var/www/airpatrol.us/web/ is a symbolic link.

I do not understand why the vhost has double directory.

Because apache differentiates between the symlink path and the real path and to ensure that everything works as expected, it is nescessary that all options are set for both paths.

I love when an advise works.
Thanks BorderAmigos!

Thanks till to confirm my suspicion!
