directory access (file listing) does not work ...

I can get at

http://www.terwiel.com/studie/frankena.pdf

all right, it loads into acrobat etc.. no problem.

but when I try to see the file listing of that directory with

http://www.terwiel.com/studie/


I cannot get a neat listing of the files in that directory (403 ?)

what is wrong ?
in httpd.conf or Linux permissions ?


permissions of the pdf is 744 owner root

and of the directory studie is 755

Apache 2.0.50

Check in the error_log, the error is detailed in there, since is
a 'forbidden' i suppose is a problem in allow/deny in the configuration
of apache.

? why "7" ? Isn't an executable.

You're denying anything from everywhere...

><Directory /var/www/www.terwiel.com/htdocs >

If you want to allow everything, use Order allow,deny and then an
allow from all

> Order Deny,Allow
> Allow from All

The same goes here. Check also if the index.html file is rw-r--r--

Don't I:
deny nothing and Allow ALL ?

There is no index.html in studie, because there are only files for ppl
to download. That is why I want a file listing to show up.

By definition, Apache allow people in only in the DocRoot directory,
that is not / (usually).

> deny nothing and Allow ALL ?

I remember that there were some trouble in doing the other way around,
not sure if it was a bug that was fixed or not, but for clarity I've
always done Order allow,deny - Allow from all.

Maybe you should add Options +Indexes then in the Directory block.

You're passing even less ...
.... assuming "... denied by rule" or alike
probably the option 'indexes' is not active at your configuration.
