I have the following vhost configured:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/myvhost
ServerName myv.host.com
ServerAlias myv.host.com
ErrorLog logs/myvhost-error_log
CustomLog logs/myvhost-access_log combined
ServerAdmin
[email protected]
<Directory /var/www/myvhost>
AllowOverride All
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The configuration appears to be correct from the apachectl tool's perspective.
However, I cannot get a directory listing on that vhost:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
The error log shows the following:
[Wed Mar 07 19:23:33 2012] [error] [client 66.6.145.214] Directory index forbidden by
Options directive: /var/www/******

More recently, the following is now kicking-into the error.log:
[Wed Mar 07 20:16:10 2012] [error] [client 192.152.243.233]
Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/error/noindex.html

Today, the following is getting kicked-out:
[Thu Mar 08 14:05:56 2012] [error] [client 66.6.145.214] Directory index forbidden by
Options directive: /var/www/<mydir>
[Thu Mar 08 14:05:56 2012] [error] [client 66.6.145.214]
Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/error/noindex.html
[Thu Mar 08 14:05:57 2012] [error] [client 66.6.145.214] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
This is after modifying the vhosts.conf file thusly:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/<mydir>
ServerName myhost
ServerAlias myhost
ErrorLog logs/myhost-error_log
CustomLog logs/myhost-access_log combined
ServerAdmin admin@myhost
<Directory "/var/www/<mydir>">
Options All +Indexes +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
What is missing?
update 4
All subdirectories of the root directory do directory listings properly - it is only the root which cannot.
