Are you trying to set up your hosting so that if you type a URL ending with a directory name it lists all the files in that directory (in the browser), but instead of the directory listing you get an Apache test page ?
Usually, directory listing is enabled by default (at least in CentOS 4.x) in a freshly installed apache (or httpd in CentOS case). But here are the checkpoints you need to go through to make sure everything is set up correctly:
- Check that you have “
Options +Indexes"httpd.conf inside the appropriate<Directory>...</Directory>definition. - Make sure that you have removed the
welcome.conffile in/etc/httpd/conf.d.This file will be displayed instead of the directory listing if you don’t remove/rename it.
