Enable Directory Listing

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!

 

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.-

Code:

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

 

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.

Code:

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

and

Code:

<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?

 

The error in the log file reads:

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!

 

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

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

 

Thank you for your input Doug G,

I've tried this several times, but till now I still get the ERROR 403 - Forbidden!

I'm lost on this one.... I have no clue on how to fix this.

 

Thank you for giving me things to try.

The "DEpending on the php method you had choosen" got me thinking!
I've disabled PHP for this client's site (it's only using html, and he did not want PHP).
Guess what.. Afer enabling PHP directory listing started to work!

So.. Now I have to find a way to get directory listing to work without enabling PHP!

 

The way I read your solution is that PHP needs to be enabled!
I would like to be able to use directory listing without PHP. (PHP disabled)

 

I must be missing something in your posts.
Whatever way I try or set the path.. As soon as I disable PHP for that client, the directory listing does not work anymore.

So. If my client wants to have directory listing he will need to live with the PHP option on
