[Apache + CentOS5] – Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/
I was having the same exact problem as you, this is what fixed “/” directory listings for me
In /etc/httpd/conf.d you will see a file entitled welcome.conf
It looks like this:
<LocationMatch “^/+$”>
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>
Change it to this:
<LocationMatch “^/+$”>
Options Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>
All we actually changed was the hyphen in front of Indexes. This worked for me, hopefully it works for you.
