Why are directory indexes not working?

[chadlnc]

I installed an uploader on one of my sites at www.retral.com/uploader/index.php I added index.php to my directory indexes last night and applied the changes, but I am still getting 403 Forbidden when going to www.retral.com/uploader

Any clues?

did you add the index for the subdirectory? uploader/index.php

it is directory based. I'll also hunt for the thread I had that answered the same issue awhile back

you may also need execute permissions 403 is perm, not file not found

err , if you setup directory indexes for 'index.php', it should work in ALL your directories, unless you have some kind of .htaccess file overriding that...

Yep, just checked, thats your problem... in ~/retral.com/ you have a .htaccess file that contains...

DirectoryIndex index.html


This overrides httpd.conf

I didn't know it was necessary to add an index for the subdirectory, but I went ahead and added it and we'll see if that does it. I checked the permissions, they look right to me. Thanks for the help.

You don't have to add it for a subdirectory... 'index.php" suffices. Its your .htaccess file

To my knowledge I don't have anything in there overriding it

You do.. in retral.com/.htaccess

Could be there if you've turn FP extensions on

I looked.. its there.. it has the DirectoryIndex directive...

You da man. Looks like sitestudio did it when I was messing around with it.

Thanks!
