Two days ago I upgraded my SUSE server. It serves three websites as virtual
sites. All of the sites run php. Upon restarting apache 2.4 I got the following
error message:
[Wed Sep 26 07:36:55.666104 2018] [autoindex:error] [pid 12345] [client
1.2.3.4:50430] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /webdir/htdocs/: No matching
DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.html.var) found, and server-generated
directory index forbidden by Options directive
I have visited many help pages and forums on apache, tried most of the
suggested remedies, such as adding DirectoryIndex index.php, to no avail.
Here is the code for one of the sites:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443>
ServerAdmin webmas...@site1.com
ServerName www.site1.com
ServerAlias site1.com *.site1.com
DocumentRoot "/home/sites/site1/htdocs"
SSLEngine on
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/WWW.SITE1.COM.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/www.site1.com.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ov_chain.txt
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions Inherit
<Directory "/home/sites/site1/htdocs">
DirectoryIndex index.php
# To make the blog work with pretty permalinks use the next 2 uncommented
lines.
# Otherwise use 'Options None' and 'AllowOverride None'
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>
AccessFileName .htaccess
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/site1.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/site1.com-access_log combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/sites/site1/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/home/sites/site1/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Require all granted
</Directory>
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf
</VirtualHost>
Adding the DirectoryIndex line has the strange result that, if I click twice on
the site in a browser, the page gets downloaded but the error message remains!
Any help would be appreciated. I have already spent two days in a fruitless
search for a solution. The sites had worked perfectly before the "upgrade".
