New to vps, need help with crazy problem.

Hello,

I just recently ventured to move all of my sites to a vps.

First off I moved my sites and couldnt get mod_rewrite working. I have corrected that problem and everything was running fine, until today when I access a directory that doesnt hold html or php files I get a 403 forbidden error.

I tried to chmod everything (even 777) to no avail. I have also noticed that my webpages cannot load images from the image directory.

Any ideas on what has happened?

 

You will need to edit apache config, to allow viewing directory without files inside. Or you can put a .htaccess with this code into your folder

 

Which setting is that in the apache config?

 

locate httpd.conf for this change^^
I believe .htacces is best bet for you.

 

I am using the .htaccess fix right now, but I would like to know exactly what entry in the httpd.conf file needs to be changed. I want to learn all I can
