httpd.conf & .htaccess: Options not allowed here

b_r_h · 02-23-2011, 07:44 AM

Hello,

On my apache, there is

Code:

IndexIgnore *

on httpd.conf to ignore directory browsing. It is working ok.

On httpd.conf-file there is also directory settings for my directory:

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/html/files/">
        Options Indexes Includes
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Password Required"
        AuthUserFile /var/www/passwords/.htpass
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

That is also directory, which I like to make browsable. I have added .htaccess-file to this directory.

Code:

Options -Indexes

I get message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /files/ on this server.

On error_log I get:
Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/files/

What am I missing?

You don't have an index(index.html, index.php, etc.) file and you have disabled the directory listing(Options -Indexes). This is intended behavior.

I like to make that directory browsable even I have IndexIgnore on httpd.conf. How to do it?

Use

Code:

Options +Indexes

in your .htaccess file in that directory.

I have tried it. Then Apache throws

Code:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

and errolog says:

Code:

/var/www/html/files/.htaccess: Options not allowed here

In your configuration file add Options to your AllowOverride statement for that directory.

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/html/files/">
        Options Indexes Includes
        AllowOverride AuthConfig Options
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Password Required"
        AuthUserFile /var/www/passwords/.htpass
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

Thank's.

I tried that, error goes away, but there in no index-list available. Maybe IndexIgnore?

It looks a like:

Code:

Index of /files
[ICO]	Name	Last modified	Size	Description

Yes. Comment that out or change it to allow the files you do want to show.

b_r_h · 02-24-2011, 05:36 PM

If I understand right, it is not possible to list index with apache, if indexingore is in *?

Inigoesdr · 02-24-2011, 06:04 PM

Correct. If you want to exclude file names/extensions you can, but * blocks everything.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks for clarifying!
