====== Enabling Directory Listing ======

By default, if you attempt to request a directory listing (e.g. %%http://domain.com/files/%%), Apache will attempt to read an index page (e.g. //index.html// or //index.php//). If there is none, it will reject the request with a "403 Forbidden" error message.

To enable directory listing (indexing) for a given directory, just put the following:

<code>
Options +Indexes
</code>

into a [[htaccess|.htaccess]] file in [[document-root|document root]] directory (or a subdirectory thereof). This will make Apache display a list of all files in the directory instead.
