I was serving web pages in Panther without a problem, but when I upgraded to tiger it knocked out my apache prefs.

I got back php without a problem (instructions here: http://www.phpmac.com/articles.php?view=225 )

But there are 2 things from the old config that I used to have that are now off that I would like back and was wondering if anyone here could help.

On the old config if I put in the directory ie blahblahblah/blah/tiger/ it would automatically look for index.html, index.htm, and index.php now I have to explicitly spell those out. I'd like the old behavior back.

On the old config if I typed in a directory that did not have an index file I would get a directory listing. Now I just get an error unless I type in the exact page.

Any help anyone?

Did you try reading the apache configuration file?

/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

yes.... and I found the bit to control the index.html, index.htm and index.php files... but I can't seem to turn on the directory feature for directories without index files. Anyone?

This page suggests you have to work with htaccess settings in order to enable virtual directory listings. It is probably disabled in Tiger because the feature is now considered a possible security issue.

FYI: The answer is this:

Insert this into httpd.conf:
------------------
Alias /Sites/ "/Users/yourusername/Sites/"

<Directory "/Users/yourusername/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
------------------
Where yourusername = your username.
