I have a virtual host with a configuration like that.
When i'm trying to get into foobar.com/dir providing valid username/password pair i get 403 forbidden page instead of that directory contents.
www.foobar.com/dir has 777 rights, .httpaswd is chmoded 644. But i can't figure out why i am still not seeing contents. Please, give me a hint.
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

ServerAlias www.foobar.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foobar
<Directory />

AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthName "Authorize yourself, please!"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

Options +Indexes<<- that one should be added
Require valid-user
you have to add the line Options +Indexes to see directory contents
