I recently upgraded my existing Apache 1.3x server to Apache 2.0.52.  I 
changed nothing (that I recall) in my httpd.conf file.  In 1.3x, I had 
defined a virtual server to link to /usr/local/share/doc so I could 
easily read my docs from what ever computer I was using at the time.  
There was never an index.html file.  I just relied on whatever was 
built-in to Apache (mod_autoindex?) to provide a directory listing when 
I accessed the Document Root.

But since upgrading, I get a 403 error and this appears in my log file:

Directory index forbidden by rule: /usr/local/share/doc/

I've Googled on the subject and found others with the same problem.  The 
general recommendation is to make sure that "Options Indexes" is defined 
for the directory.  I've done this and restarted Apache but it has not 
helped.  Here's the relevant section of httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mykitchentable.net
    ServerName freebsd.mykitchentable.net
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/share/doc
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd_freebsd-access.log combined
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd_freebsd-error.log

   <Directory "/usr/local/share/doc">
        Options All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Can anyone point out my error?

Thanks,

Drew
