I'm trying to get directory indexes enabled. I'm using the embedded Apache server. I copied the httpd.conf.template to httpd.conf and then added this to the bottom:

<Directory "$$PROJECTDIR$$">
    Options Indexes
</Directory>

I then updated my project's advanced debug settings to use the modified httpd.conf file. I verified that the template was used by checking the hidden .httpd.conf file in my project dir. Unfortunately, directory indexes do not get enabled. I get the standard Apache 404 error (happens when you try to browse a directory that doesn't have a recognized index file).

BTW, I love this product. I'm trying it out now and really, really impressed. Just hoping to get this feature enabled.

Thanks,
Rick

Can you post the resulting .httpd.conf file?

Thanks for the reply Juan. Yes, I have included it below. The part where I tried to enable indexes is at the bottom.

I was able to get around this by using IIS. IIS is my preferred web server anyway. Initially I had issues with IIS but I worked around them and documented the change here:
