Directory Listing

Hey all, I wish to make one directory on a site able to be listed.

You know what I mean, so when user type the /directoryname they get a simple list of the contents.

I have googled for many possible solutions but none of them seem to work. I think I have to do something manual with a .htaccess file which I have done by putting this code into the .htaccess file located within the directory.

<Directory "/path/to/directory">
Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks
</Directory>

And I have even tried giving full access to the www-data user to the directory.

Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

 

I hate it when I can't get things to work...

Tried that but no cigar.

Could you tell me, is the path supposed to be the full server path or relative to the site?

I have full permissions to the www-data account on the particular folder for now just to try and get it working. Is that the correct permissions?

Cheers

 

But wait there's more

After more testing I can now actually access individual files within the folder by using the full URL in a browser.

Mind you, this is NOT effected by what I put in the Directives field of the site.

So... I think the permissions are not the problem, but rather the apache directives stuff.

Please help.

 

First I tried...

Code:

<Directory "/other">
Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks
</Directory>

Then

Code:

<Directory "/web/other">
Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks
</Directory>

And then

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/web3/web/other">
Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks
</Directory>

The directory is located within the web folder of the site and is called "other"

 

Did you restart Apache?

Where did you put this?

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/web3/web/other">
Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks
</Directory>

If it's in an .htaccess file, you need an

Code:

AllowOverride Options

or

Code:

AllowOverride all

directive.
