Bug 299136 – "Web Space Configuration for dev.gentoo.org" should remember how to allow directory indexing

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Documentation

I know that you probably think that most developers will know how to enable directory indexing, but, in my case, I have had to search in google since I haven't use anything related with it since years.

The problem I have had is that I didn't know how to enable directory indexing for  http://dev.gentoo.org/~pacho/ , and then, I was getting "Forbidden" error message

Finally, after searching, I saw that I simply had to create a .htaccess file with:
Options Indexes

and place it in ~/public_html

I think that this should be added to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/dev-webspace.xml

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always
