I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here by modifying these files. To get the directory listing, from mod_autoindex documentation:
"Automatic index generation is enabled with using Options +Indexes. See the Options <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options> directive for more details." If you have a look at Options directive: Indexes If a URL which maps to a directory is requested, and there is no DirectoryIndex<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex>( *e.g.*, index.html) in that directory, then mod_autoindex<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_autoindex.html>will return a formatted listing of the directory. So all you need to get a directory listing is: 1. Optins +Indexes (in the directory command) 2. You should NOT have any index file in that directory On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 8:26 AM, Stan Laughlin <stan.laugh...@gmail.com>wrote: > Folks, > I am running an Ubuntu 11.10 server w/Apache 2.2. > I am familiar with linux and command line but not familiar w/Apache. > > When enter the server IP address like this to a browser URL (pretend IP > here) : 10.10.10.10/doc/ > It will list the default directory Index for the /usr/share/doc/ > directory.
