The below is a diff of my old commonhttpd.conf and my new commonhttpd.conf... this should correct the error (if you're not familiar with patch/diff, the lines prefixed by - are the old lines, the + are the new lines)... in other words, I'm commenting this stuff out. This starts at line 33 in a stock /etc/httpd/commonhttpd.conf file. Try this and restart apache once you've saved the file and see if it works. --- commonhttpd.conf~ Wed Apr 3 14:24:09 2002 +++ commonhttpd.confWed Apr 3 14:24:09 2002 -33,12 +33,12 #/Directory #Restricted set of options -Directory / - Options -All -Multiviews - AllowOverride None - Order deny,allow - Deny from all -/Directory +#Directory / +# Options -All -Multiviews +# AllowOverride None +# Order deny,allow +# Deny from all +#/Directory # -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6mdk uptime: 13 days 23 hours 33 minutes. msg52359/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Which? Not whole site, or not in /var/www/html? Without knowing what you really intend, this sounds like a symbolic link might be what you need: ln -s /mnt/windows/somepath /var/www/html/myfatdisk http://clickonline.net/myfatdisk/somefile This works with ext2; and I'm assuming it should work with FAT32 too... but, without /somefile, you could get the error... see below. what might be causing this ? The config file. There are various failure modes... For example, Options -Indexes or Options without Indexes will give you the above error if you try to get a directory listing; like when there is no default (index.*, etc) file therein. anyone ?

The default root directory for Apache is now /var/www/html, If you want to use a directory that is not under that tree , you need to either put a symbolic link in that directory that points to the one want use or change the DocumentRoot setting in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf.If you change the DocumentRoot setting it affects the entire directory tree that apache uses may have unanticipated side effects so I'd recommend using a symbolic link.
