/index.shtml Auto execution

I have another problem with SSI which will not automatically execute /index.shtml

if I type domain.com/index.shtml it works.

if I type domain.com/ only it does not work and I see an error message in error.log "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/airpatrol.us/web/"

my vhost SSI enable looks like this:

Code:

        # ssi enabled
        AddType text/html .shtml
        AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
        Options +Includes [COLOR="Red"]+Indexes[/COLOR]

I have added "+Indexes" as shown above and the error.log message changed to "(13)Permission denied: Can't open directory for index: /var/www/airpatrol.us/web/"

And terminal shows error "403 You are not permitted to access the requested URL."

I have tried root/root and client1/web4 and chmod 755, 644 and some others without any positive result.

What am I doing wrong?

 

working directory

Hi edi00,
I am thinking that your working directory is /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web

cd /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web
ls
and see what is in there.

 

That is where the /index.shtlm is.
It is strange that error is complaining about the /var/www/airpatrol.us/web/ which is DocummentRoot

Code:

    <Directory /var/www/airpatrol.us/web>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all

        # ssi enabled
        AddType text/html .shtml
        AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
        Options +Includes [COLOR="Red"]+Indexes[/COLOR]
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        
        # ssi enabled
        AddType text/html .shtml
        AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
        Options +Includes [COLOR="Red"]+Indexes[/COLOR]
    </Directory>

I do not understand why the vhost has double directory. I am using client/client1/web4/web since DocumentRoot does not exist. If I want to CD to DocumentRoot the airpatrol.us is simlink directly to web4.

 

You need to add index.shtml to the DirectoryIndex directive.

/var/www/client/client1/web4/web is the actual directory.
/var/www/airpatrol.us/web/ is a symbolic link.

 

Thanks till to confirm my suspicion!
