directory shows as empty when it is not, options include Indexesand MultiViews

Here is my Directory setting:

<Directory "d:/mydir/subdir">
Options Indexes MultiViews
Allow Override None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I have an alias set up for this.
When I browse using the alias, it shows a virtual directory listing but it
says the directory is empty when it isn't! If I put an index.html file in
that dir then it renders the contents of index.html in the way you would
expect.

Any ideas why the dir listing should come up as empty? Normally the
problem people have in this area is permission denied. I have not heard of
anyone else having this problem but I am desperate!

I am using Windows XP (cough, cough) and Apache2. The webDAV module is
also installed (for use with subversion).

Please help.

do you have any IndexIgnore option somethere, are the files there all
of one type, say php or other scripts which are excluded from the
listing.

hmm, ive have no such problems 2.2.3 on xp_prosp2, (unless you have
the habit of adjusting ownership and permissions on XP, that can cause
trouble)
this works fine for me (adjusted Allow Override to AllowOverride)

#alias (in virtualhost stanza)
Alias /thawte "D:/thawte"
#directory block either there or outside
<Directory "d:/mydir/subdir">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


one thing though, I did give up with web dav and (tigris) svn after a
_lot_ of hassle with the modules, and config. I know thats no comfort,
but 'm assuming here that you've tried it without the svn/wd modules
and all was fine!!

Er, actually no. I haven't tried junking webDAV. Perhaps it's time I
did...we plan to use the svn server anyway...
