You can download RAR for Linux at http://www.winrar-rog.com/edownload/dosrar.html (I haven't tried it myself...)

You can get unzip at http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/unzip-5.41-...-3.i386_dl.html and zip at http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/zip-2.3-8.i386_dl.html

Many thanks Hostcrest.........i did it

Love everyone in here....they're so helpful:p

HostCrest ....do you know how to make the whole folder list on WWW ....what i meant is when i type http://www.mydomain.com/folder/

the content in "folder" doesn't list unless i link it like this
http://www.mydomain.com/folder/filename.jpg

I'm having Plesk Box....don't know if anyone did it before?:confused:

Yes, it's possible. Create a file vhost.conf in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/domain.com/conf and then include the following line to the file:Do the same for vhost_ssl.conf if you need to enable listings for SSL connections.

vhost.conf and vhost_ssl.conf allow you to configure specific Apache settings for each individual domain.

i did exactly what you told.....but still doesn't work....do i have to chown or chmod vhost.conf ??
please help

Are you using a dedicated IP address for that site (i.e., not name-based hosting)? If you're using name-based hosting, the configuration of the domain is bypassed when you try to access the site by its IP address. That's because the VirtualHost settings (and therefore the associated vhost.conf settings) are based on the hostname, not the IP address.

If you want to change the server-wide settings for directory listings (not recommended...), you can edit /usr/local/psa/apache/conf/httpd.conf and change...to...
Then, the directory listing will be shown for all domains and IP addresses in the absence of index.html, etc.
