I'm running the latest TOS 5.0.176 and have the Webserver 2.2.6 installed. About a week or two I created a folder in the root of the server and put some files in it. When I gave the link to a friend it showed the directory listing of that folder (which is what I wanted), they were able to download the files so I deleted the folder. I have since rebooted the server, but now when I create a folder in the root, no matter what link I give them (for the folder) I get access forbidden. I tried creating an .htaccess file inside that folder with the following:
and I get the same error. Just to test it, I tried creating an .htaccess with the same info in the root folder and that changed from showing my page to the same access forbidden error.
Ideally, I do NOT want to deal with .htaccess at all and allow any directory without an index.php to just show the directory listing by default. I have no idea where the httpd.conf file is or any other way to configure the server. Any help would be appreciated.
