Enable Directory Listing

[smakynet]

I need to figure out how to enable directory listing.

Right now I get the error "Browsing this directory is forbidden"

Does anyone know how to enable Directory browsing globally?

Any help is appreciated!

Add the following code in the apache2.conf file:

<Directory /var/www>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

If you want to configure for just a particular site/sub-directory, it can also go in the Apache Directives for required web in ISPConfig2.
Unsure about ISPConfig3

e.g.-

<Directory /var/www/web3/web/mysql-backup-reports>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

[till]

Same for ispconfig 3.

For some reason I can not get this to work in ISPconfig3
When looking at the .vhost file it does show the added data.

I have tested this with client ID and domain.

<Directory "/var/clients/client17/web59/web/download">
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

and

<Directory /var/www/the-domain.nl/web/download>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Both ways give an ERROR 403 - Forbidden!
Is it only me who is having this problem? if so.. What could it be?

Looks correct so far. Have you took a look at the error log in the website?

[edge]

The error in the log file reads:

client denied by server configuration: /var/www/the-domain.nl/web/download/index.php

It's correct that it can not find the index.php as it does not have one!
I want it to show the directory listing!

[till]

Does the site contain a .htaccess file that might apply some rewriting?

[edge]

I mist your reply, so sorry for the delay on your question.
And.. No... No .htaccess at all on that site!

I've only added

<Directory /var/www/the-domain.nl/web/download>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

to the Apache Directives of the website in question.

fwiw I just went through this on a test server, it seems to me I had to manually restart or reload apache to get the new directory directive to be recognized and the forbidden message to go away. I put the directive in the additional apache directives in ispconfig3. This was done on centos 5.3
