Why removing this legitimate error? Do you really need directory listing? Why? Maybe you simply need to add an index file. :-)

Solution 1

To solve this you must define what should be displayed: A directory listing or a default page (usually an index page) when it is present.

See DirectoryListings - Httpd Wiki[^] for the required Apache configuration settings.

It's unlikely that it was the inquirer's intent. Directory listings usually should be hidden. Maybe the problem is just the lack of index file...

As often the intention of the questioner is not clear.
But I think my solution (the link) is solving the problem:

Allow directory listings if this is really wanted or provide a file with a name listed in the DirectoryIndex directive to avoid the error.
