[GLLUG] Apache Problems

[Scott Harrison]

Hi Tom:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options

For example, the following should work for you (i.e. edit httpd.conf):

<Directory "/home/*/public_html">

    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options
All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please
see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes
</Directory>

Of course, the directory permissions on public_html need to be correct
(executable by the world, or at least the group under which the apache
process runs).

Regards,
Scott
