Apache 2.0: Allow Index Browsing?
I am trying to find the conf setting to allow users to browse directory contents. Right now I just get a 403 forbidden when I try to browse.

Thanks!

Its probably in htaccess. Open any files called .htaccess on the server, and remove the line
IndexIgnore *
from each of them.

I was unable to find any HTACCESS files, this is a fresh install of apache. It did it for every subdirectory as well.

you will need to make the .htaccess file yourself.. do you have control over the apache install? i.e. did you install it?

if so have a look at your apache server Options or http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options

I found this line:
IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# HEADER* RCS CVS *,v *,t

And commented it out. Restarted apache. Nothing.

Put this in an .htaccess file in the directory you want Indexing to occur.

Options +Indexes
