PHP and APACHE permission problem

Hi frnds,

I have a problem displaying the file list in the explorer. What i want is that if i write

http://127.0.0.1/mydir

all the files in mydir shud be displayed as a list.

what i get if i write the same is as follows

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /mydir/ on this server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/2.0.54 (Win32) PHP/5.0.4 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80

what shud i do to get the file list.

thanks in advance

Vijay

 

Damn, that's like a mechanic asking how to change the oil of a VW

Does the folder have the correct permission to let you see it?

 

Damn...ths is not like a mechanic asking how to change the oil of a ...
the permissions are set and are correct
still does not work

 

go to google and tpye this at the search box

Maybe you can find your answer there... for example I found this page
http://www.freebsddiary.org/forbidden.php

Maybe that will help

 

mod_index handles showing a directory listing if I'm not mistaken. Make sure you have that installed (./httpd -l)
There are also some settings in httpd.conf to enable/disable the displaying of indexes, which if disabled would override directory permissions.

 

Don't obfuscate our PHP Programmer with ./ 's, that's Apache on a Win box!

 

Accessing the folder via http is not ever going to work I believe. I would think without seeing your approach, it would be necessary for the folder to be local and accessed with a file system path like, /home/folder/folder-to-test/ and a file system directory function call.

NevetS:
Could you be specific as to which options within httpd.conf control access to directories? I have a similar issue with access/permissions.
