index 403 forbidden - show directory listing of files

[NukeSter]

When i try to look at a folder in my hosting directory i see 403 forbidden i would like to see the index of the files. I need this for my fast download for my gaming servers.

EHCP Force by default turns the default listing of files off.  However, it can be re-enabled.  I will send you a command that will work when I'm home.

Run this command with sudo permissions:

Code: [Select]

sudo -i
APACHE2Conf="/etc/apache2/apache2.conf"
if [ -e "$APACHE2Conf" ]; then
sed -i "s/^Options.*/Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks/g" "$APACHE2Conf"
service apache2 restart
fi

You should now be able to see a list of files if there is no index in a directory.

Worked like a charm.

Thank you.

[earnolmartin]

Cool, thanks for letting me know that it worked.

Are you saying it didn't work solely because of the information message output by apache?  Specifically, this:

[Sun Feb 15 18:26:44.365527 2015] [alias:warn] [pid 9162] AH00671: The Alias directive in /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf at line 3 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
                                                                         [ OK ]

If you are basing that claim on the message that was output by apache, it probably worked.

After running the command, does it still not display a directory listing?

Ok this issue has been resolved I honestly do not know what i did to fix this issue or what happened there is so much i was reading on with postfix..

I did perform the update twice
sudo apt-get install subversion
cd ~/Downloads
if [ -e "ehcpforceupdate.sh" ]; then
    rm "ehcpforceupdate.sh"
fi
svn export "svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/ehcpforce/code/trunk/ehcpforce/ehcp/ehcpforceupdate.sh"
sudo bash "ehcpforceupdate.sh"

here is a list of web browsers i was in the process of using when things magically started working..

this here was an error i googled that i got when i tried sending mail 454 4.7.1

now for some reason my connection is untrusted example https://www.lorentedford.com

It's a self-signed SSL certificate.  It will do that.  Browsers trust root certificate authorities by default, not self signed certs.

For nginx, you could edit a specific domain template (or global web server template) and turn autoindex on as mentioned here:
