fedora core 4 apache and directory listing

i recently installed fedora core 4, which included apache. I used to
run gentoo 2005.0 which handled all my apache needs. However after
installing fedora core 4, i am unable to preform directory listing. i
have the .htaccess file with Options Indexes feature from my previous
linux distro, but it doesn't seem to work with fedora core 4.

Does for me. Have you allowed .htaccess files, and allowed them to
override those options?

by default it is 'AllowOverride None' i changed it to All however
nothing seems to work, i dont tink it likes directory listing a hard
disk that i mount, even if i mount it within the /var/www/html
directory, am i mounting the drives incorrectly?
/etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 /website auto defaults
0 2

That ones's not mounted in /var/www/html, though the mount looks okay (as
it is). If you're playing with symlinks, that's another option that needs
enabling. There's a chance that you've got a permissions problem. Make
the directory readable and executable to all.

e.g. rwx---r-x /example/path/to/website

("owner" everything allowed: rwx
"group" doesn't usually matter: ---
"other" read and executable only: r-x)

The parent directories need to be executable, at least.

e.g. rwx-----x /example/path/to/
rwx-----x /example/path/
rwx-----x /example/

Check your error logs, it might show you what your problem is.

When replying on usenet (no matter how gmail works) quote as least as much
as is necessary for the next person to understand what you're talking
about. Don't quote nothing, nor quote the lot unnecessarily.
