I succesfully installed (in localhost and virtualhost, running on OSX) Apaxy to have a better view of my web directories. Each .htaccess works fine if theme folder is in their same directory, but what if I want to keep only one theme folder, for example in /Library/WebServer/Documents?
I tried to edit the vhost .htaccess from this working format:
AddIcon theme/icons/blank.png ^^BLANKICON^^
AddIcon theme/icons/folder.png ^^DIRECTORY^^
AddIcon theme/icons/folder-home.png ..
HeaderName theme/header.html
ReadmeName theme/footer.html
IndexStyleSheet theme/style.css
to this (not working):
AddIcon /Library/WebServer/Documents/theme/icons/blank.png ^^BLANKICON^^
AddIcon /Library/WebServer/Documents/theme/icons/folder.png ^^DIRECTORY^^
AddIcon /Library/WebServer/Documents/theme/icons/folder-home.png ..
HeaderName /Library/WebServer/Documents/theme/header.html
ReadmeName /Library/WebServer/Documents/theme/footer.html
IndexStyleSheet /Library/WebServer/Documents/theme/style.css
But I don't understand why, since it is just a path and I'm sure those files exist.
Does it only works if .htaccess and theme folder are in the same directory?
Is it possible to set all those mod_autoindex's directives in apache config file? In order to have it working for any directory missing the index page
AddIcon /Library/WebServer/Documents/theme/icons/blank.png ^^BLANKICON^^
AddIcon expects a URL – whereas what you have here rather looks like a file system path.
You need to specify the URL from the root of your domain – so if your icon is available via http://example.com/theme/icons/blank.png, you would need to use
AddIcon /theme/icons/blank.png ^^BLANKICON^^

The Apache documentation tells you for every directive, in which context it can be used.
Go look up for example the AddIcon directive, and you see that it says there:
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
