hi,

I had to comment these lines from the htaccess files in my main Drupal folder and in sites folder

# Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
#Options -Indexes

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
#Options +FollowSymLinks

...in order to not get a 500 Internal Error on the new server.

Can I leave them uncommented or am I going to have security issues ?

ps. I've also set all content in files folder 777 permission. Is this ok ?

thanks
