htaccess

Hello

I am new user of Apache server under Windwos XP SP2. For HTTP access to my
WEB pages, it works fine.

I want my clients can see directory listings for directories that doesn't
contains index.html file.

But I obtain an 404 error page. How can I do ?

My httpd.conf file (standard installation) contains a line "options indexes"
which seems necessary for my need.

I don't know how to create in my root directory an operationnal .htaccess
file. If I create a htaccess file with hidden attribute, this file is not
treated by apache.

Can someone help me. I am new user. (Before I used Abyss server).

Thanks.

Sorry for my question :

I had modified path for access to my Web pages
and I had NOT modified path for access authorizations to my web pages.
So acces to index was never possible.

It works fine now.

For .htaccess files (unuseful for me) I've seen that it is necessary to do
"ren htaccess .htaccess" under DOS session ...

Just open it in notepad, and do a Save As ".htaccess" no comman
prompt required. :wink
