Is there a reason that public_html dirs do not allow an override for Indexes by default?
The problem is that if I add IndexIgnore in a .htaccess file in my public_html dir, I get a 500 error. I think the 500 error is bogus (should be silently ignored), but the fact that I can't override the indexes is also bogus. This is exactly the case I'm seeing on daedalus: http://www.apache.org/~jerenkrantz/foo/ Mainly, I think the following patch should be applied and the configuration on daedalus changed as well. And, even if this shouldn't be the default, I move to make it the configuration on daedalus because I want to control mod_autoindex's output for certain directories in my public_html dir. -- justin Index: docs/conf/httpd-std.conf.in =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/httpd-2.0/docs/conf/httpd-std.conf.in,v retrieving revision 1.13 diff -u -r1.13 httpd-std.conf.in --- docs/conf/httpd-std.conf.in 15 Jul 2002 20:17:25 -0000 1.13 +++ docs/conf/httpd-std.conf.in 3 Aug 2002 09:42:06 -0000 @@ -370,7 +370,7 @@ # for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only. # #<Directory /home/*/public_html> -# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit +# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes # Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec # <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND> # Order allow,deny
