Internal Server Error when browsing to url of uploaded images

[ianpriceuk]

Hi

I have uploaded an image to the uploads folder via the user interface.

When I access the image via the URl it says within the GUI i get "Internal Server Error", and the apache logs gives me these lines about the time it happened.

"...client denied by server..."

"...data/uploads/.htaccess: Options not allowed here..."

The healthcheck shows all is okay, but I am ver new to apache, php and so am looking for any help I can get.

Cheers

Ian

After a bit of trial and error, I removed Options -Indexes from the uploads htaccess and it seems to work.

Not sure how my host is setup - and as I said - I am new to PHP and Apache - so please excuse me

"Options -Indexes" in .htaccess works as it should:

it stops the server to show a list of all files in that directoy (which is the default behaviour when there is no index-file)

as this is a security problem, it is always safe to turn that off by using "Options -Indexes"

you can open all files from within your browser if you know the names

but why do you want to have external access? You can see all files from within the admin area

keep in mind that this is a security feature! It protects your files!
