Apache directoryindex errors

RT Users
1

Ive installed RT3 and the web interface fails on the directory links
with
/Admin/
giving a 403 error which can be fixed by typing in
/Admin/index.html
The rest of the web folders work fine, so after trying to liberally put
DirectoryIndex here and there Im stuck.
Heres the relevant part of httpd.conf that Ive added.

Alias /rt "/usr/local/rt3/share/html"
PerlRequire /usr/local/rt3/bin/webmux.pl
<Location /rt>
DirectoryIndex index.html
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RT::Mason

<Directory “/usr/local/rt3/share/html”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.html

I’m guessing you’re using Apache2 ? If so, add the following line to your
conf and you should be good:

RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html

This redirects directory urls to the index.html, ‘DirectoryIndex’ should do
this but doesn’t, I don’t know why…

Is that Apache2? If that’s the case, you have to use the
and tags instead of or
as stated in the docs.

Thanks - that was indeed the line.
I think directoryindex must get confused because of the perl/mason parsing,
but Im just guessing.
