Enable directory browsing?

Hi

I get the following error message when I call my public webdir without
an index.html:

---
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~moeller/ on this server.
Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.47 OpenSSL/0.9.7 Server
---

This worked in the past (I saw the file listing), until my university
changed the software config a few days ago. Seems they just disabled
directory browsing.

Is it possible to enable directory browsing (I don't want an index.html)
locally, e.g. using htaccess or something else?

Thx,
Jan

If they allow that, put an .htaccess in your directory with
Options +Indexes
and that should do the trick. Check with your sysadmins.
