Options -Indexes ... in your httpd.conf and change it to... Options +Indexes Cheers, Steve @braddanick – to get apache to list the directory contents, you’ll need to add an .htaccess file to the directory with the following directive:

Options +Indexes

If you want this at a global level (not recommended for security reasons), search for…

Options -Indexes

… in your httpd.conf and change it to…

Options +Indexes

Thanks for all the hard work. I originally used your other post to set up MAMP. I have been putting off using the MAMP package as my config was working just fine save for having to start MySQL manually. I have now purchased and install MAMP and MAMP Pro! I though it'd be nice to have the Pro app to do the dirty work... seems like it was a huge waste of money. I have configured my virtual hosts and they seem to work but for one problem. Unless I have an index.php file in the folder, it shows a 403 Forbidden error message. Is there something I can do to get the default directory listing back? Thanks a lot once again! Hey there!!!!

I can get past it with the info.php page I made, but I can't get to the phpMyAdmin installation page. When I try to access http://pma I just get the Apache Default page. I'm pretty sure I've got my paths set right, so I don't know what it is I've done wrong.

If so, you'll want to delete that. I'll be honest and say that I can't remember exactly where it puts the startup item. If memory serves, it's here: /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM Let me know if that works. -Steve @tkroro
