How to get files stored in web folder listed in the web browser

.htaccess indexes usually get files listed on web browser. But both .htaccess and amendment at apache2 to list file failed. How to do I get this done with ISPConfig? If ISPConfig interface do not support this, is it possible to do it in the terminal?

 

As mentioned above, I tried both .htaccess and apache directive. Both do not have any effect on the webpage running from ISPConfig.

 

Double-check for any typos and review the log files for any errors. I added directory indexes from an apache directive in ispconfig without any problem.

 

Please tell me where I did wrong.

I create .htaccess with "Options +Indexes" as it's content and place in the [web] folder. Get Error 403.

I add the following content in /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

<Directory />
allow from all
Options +Indexes
Allowoverride All
</Directory>

Still get Error 403.

 

The error log show:

Client denied by Server Configuration: /var/www/www.xxx.com/web/public/index.php

But when I access this folder using a FTP Client, I do not see it. I also notice that when I put a .htaccess file, it will disappear too. I have edit the conf not to hide .ht* but it has no effect just as the directive to list files.

 

If you are using pure-ftpd, you have to add a file in the configuration to show the files that start with a dot.

This is from a comment on one of the Perfect Server tutorials.

To make PureFTPD show hidden files you have to create a new file "DisplayDotFiles" in "/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/" with the value "yes".

That should show you the .htaccess file in the ftp client.

 

Run

Code:

chmod 755 /var/www/www.xxx.com/web/

 

I have tried this using FTP client. I also tried this using the terminal as you suggested, but it still give error 403. The link is located at: http://ftp.tenpage.com/public/

 

Am I the only one who has this listing deny issue with ISPConfig3?

 

I solved the listing problem. In ISPConfig3, go to:

System > Server Config > "Server name" > Web Tab > Security Level : High > Medium

Alterative, add "Options +Indexes" to the domain conf file directly at:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ftp.domain.com.vhost

Editing apache2.conf is completely useless and has no impact what-so-ever.

hope this helps.
