Directory Index Error

Post by briosys54 »

Hello Pals,

I installed Php ver 5.2.1.1 with Apache ver 2.2.1. After all the initial necessary configuration done with httpd file i got the Php files to be run successfully by Apache server. But when i typed the directory name in the url it searches for the index files ( index.html , index.php) and displayes them without any problem if the folder dosent have any default index file then it displays an error message as follows,

" You are not authorized to view this page

You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied "


If i type the direct file name in the url it runs the file without any error.

I need the Apache to display the directory index structure when i type the directory name in the url. I reckon i should change some setup in the httpd config file or got to change some directory permission level am not sure.

Please throw your solutions.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Search for something like "apache allow indexing" or "apache allow view indexes"

Be creative. Find the answer you will :)
