Apache Webserver does not show directory listings but 403 - Yosemite

9,649

open "/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" in an editor. Scroll down until you find this part:

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">

Inside there you'll need to add "Indexes" to your "Options". For me, this meant changing this line:

Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews

To:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews

Then restart apache:

apachectl restart

    localhost points to /Libary/WebServer/Documents. If I have an index.html file in there it opens, no problems. However if I remove the index file it gives me a 403 error instead of showing the directory listing - same applies for all subfolders.

    Just upgraded to Yosemite, MBA.

    How can I get it to show directory listings again?

    -Cheers
