A couple of weeks back I asked for help when my new Fedora 8 install
wouldn't let me see bare directories full in text files, images etc. This
had been working under Fedora 7.

Today I had the time to investigate further. The problem turned out to be
nothing to do with SELinux, symlinks or even file permissions. It had
everything to do with the fact that moving to F8 also involved moving to
Apache 2.2.8. Somewhere between the Apache version used with F7 and 2.2.8,
Apache introduced new set of configuration files and/or changed their
default settings. These are held in /etc/httpd/modsecurity.d. It turned
out that there's a statement in

/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/modsecurity_crs_50_outbound.conf

that can override the "AllowOverride Indexes" statement in the <directory>
definitions in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

The default setting is to forbid directory listings to be output.
Commenting this out solved my problem.

That's strange. I'm running apache 2.2.8 on a F8 system and, without
modifying any of that, i can access bare directories and the files in
them. The only exception is the root directory (of the web server) - and
commenting out the statements in /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf should
fix that.

I am having a similar problem in getting SSI (server side includes) to
work on Fedora 8. It used to work fine at RedHat 9 but doesn't now. I
have added an "Includes" in htppd.conf but I am obviously missing
something else. Anybody any clues?
