Thanks, Joshua, apparently that was it. What threw me off was the
complaint about permissions - what it really meant was that the file
wasn't there.
Where would you put the Options directive - in httpd.conf or under the
individual directory in httpd-vhosts.conf? And what form does it
take?
Hmmm... Did you read the reference I sent above?
It doesn't matter in particular where you put it, other than that it
must apply to the appropriate <Directory>. Usually it is easiest to
find a <Directory> section in your config file that already exists for
the relevant area and add Indexes to the Options directive in that
section (or add "Options +Indexes" if there is no existing Options
directive).
Joshua.
