Thanks, but I'm not getting how its done. Consulting the apache manual online I ended up thinking something like this should work in /etc/apache2/conf/commonapache2.conf. The plus sign is supposed to mean it will merge onto other directory entries. <Directory /hpweb/TrainingVids/DigitalPhotography> Options +Indexes </Directory> There is another Directory entry in that stock file right above where I inserted mine that looks like: <Directory /> Options -All -Multiviews AllowOverride None <IfModule mod_access.c> Order deny,allow Deny from all </IfModule> </Directory> I thought maybe the minus sign on All would mean it was ruled out for all options, so changed it to +. It didn't work either way after `/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' The error is: You don't have permission to access /hpweb/TrainingVids/DigitalPhotography/ on this server. However that directory has the same permissions as all others. (my user) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
