Anyone ever had a problem with Apache 2 not recognizing the index.html file? I don't quite understand what's going on. This is a stock installation of httpd 2.0.40 (release 21.11 from Red Hat), with only a couple of minor modifications to the configuration.
The directories in question all have an index.html file in them, yet
Apache returns a 403 Forbidden error, with this entry in the error_log :
Directory index forbidden by rule: /usr/local/rt/share/html/
This error message would make sense if there was no index.html. But the
file exists, permissions are 755, everything looks to be kosher.
Turning on directory indexes (Options +Indexes) in the configuration
works, and shows the index.html file there. Then I can click on the
file and it displays properly. But it won't display when I use the URL
just ending in a slash.
The default configuration entry for DirectoryIndex says this:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
I tried removing the "index.html.var" portion just to be safe, and it
still yields the same behavior.
The only other configuration change I've made is to enable mod_perl
(this is for the Request Tracker app, RT). This is done with the
following code per the RT documentation:
Alias /rt /usr/local/rt/share/html
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /usr/local/rt/bin/webmux.pl
<Location /rt>
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>
Any ideas how I can get index.html to work as expected? BTW, this file
is indeed a Perl script, not really a static HTML file, but that should
be handled just fine by the "SetHandler perl-script" comment above, and
indeed it works fine if when refer to the index.html file explicitly.
Thanks for any ideas.
Jeremy
