Hi all

Installed apache_2.0.44-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi on XP Pro, changed port to 8080 as I am running Skype.

Opened up browser and typed http://localhost/

This is result

Directory Listing Denied

This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

Can anyone please help me out here?

Thanks

You should browse to http://localhost:8080 in that case :)

Hi timvw

Thanks for your reply.

Tried that one already.

It also says No services installed.

Cheers

Hmm, I seem to remember that in a lot of cases with XP you have to allow the Apache service access to read the directories/files.

I think you configure it in the services manager and give config Apache to run under a username that has access to those files/directories.

Could be completely wrong though.

And configure Apache that is has rights to generate an Index list ;)

LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so


<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
