Indexes in Apache

[Master of Reality]

apache 1.3.* on slackware
How do i get Indexes to work on a single directoy?
I added:
<Directory "/var/www/html/images/bass">
Options Multiviews Indexes
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

to my httpd.conf and after restarting indexes still dont work, so whats wrong with what i did there^?

You already have a directory definition for "/var/www/html" that applies for that directory and anything below it. I believe if you want to create a definition with different options it must be outside if the "/var/www/html" directory structure.

ohhhhh.....i see
so if i want only one directory with indexes i should make /var/www/indexdir/ (or i could make sure all my other directories have "index.html" of course)

[Void Main]

I believe this to be the case but I could be wrong, and I am a little confused on exact the behavior you wish to obtain. I might be able to help further if you could explain in a little more detail what you are after.

i just wanted one directory to have the index show up.

i just wanted one directory to have the index show up.

Still confused. Let's see if I have it, in one directory you want to be able to place an "index.[html/php/cgi]" file and instead of having the web server automatically render it as a web page when you just enter the directory portion in the URL, instead have it's file name show up as part of a directory listing as if there were no index.html file at all. Is that sort of what you want?

[Master of Reality]

no there is no index.html/php/foo but my root dir is configured not to have indexes (because i set it like that), and i wanted one directory to have an index.

i got it set up the way i like now anyway.

[Void Main]

Ok, I see now. How did you finally end up configuring it?

[Master of Reality]

i decided i didnt want a directory with indexes.... i didnt just quit, i just dont need it anymroe.
