Problem have Apache display the "directory listing"

[sgoldman-3s7WtUTddSA at public.gmane.org (stephen goldman)]

Good morning,

    I wish to create a web site I can copy software from. Later wish to restrict access to an htpasswd file.

 

    Having trouble configuring apache to display directory listing from the web site.

 

The directory's path in shared 755 - an index.html file works file. 

 

I 've tried many options with no success. Open to new ideas please.


Thanks,

Stephen

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents.  The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.

Options +Indexes 

This should enable auto-index.
