Apache: How to enable Directory Index browsing at the Doc Root level?
- by Brian Lacy
I have several web development projects running on Fedora 13. I generally setup Apache to serve my larger projects as Virtual Hosts, but I've got several small projects cycling through that I don't really care to setup a VirtualHost for each one. Instead I'd like them all under a subdirectory of the main VirtualHost entry. I just want Apache to serve me the directory index when I browse to the host name.
For example, the hostname projects.mydomain.com refers to /var/www/projects, and that directory contains only subdirectories (no index file).
Unfortunately when I browse to the host directly I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
But my virtual host entry in my apache config looks like this:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName projects.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/projects
<Directory "/var/www/projects">
Options +FollowSymlinks +Indexes
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
What am I missing here?
