[mp2] DirectoryIndex issues

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/02/25]

I've been trying to track down why the DirectoryIndex under Apache2+MP2 
isn't working with the following configuration.  From Google and 
listserv searching, the only suggestion I found was to add a 
"RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html" to my config, but this 
doesn't seem like a good solution and others have reported experiencing 
the same problem.

Is there a simple fix to this httpd.conf file; is this a known issue 
with Apache2+MP2?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthew

This URL works correctly:
     http://ip.ip.ip.ip/testnomp2/

This URL returns a 403 Forbidden:
     http://ip.ip.ip.ip/testmp2/
and reports "Directory index forbidden by rule: /home/www/testmp2/" in 
the error_log.

This URL works correctly:
     http://ip.ip.ip.ip/testmp2/index.pl
