I am trying to allow directory browsing in the apache2.conf file, but when restarting the server, I get an error. This error make the web server crash and I can't get access to the localhost directory. So I have to remove this line of code again, to make server available. How can I allow directory browsing to a specific folder in my web server? Is it possible to allow directory access from the apache2.conf file?

Here is a clip from my code in Ubuntu:

First of all there is a typo in your code. AllowOvveride should be AllowOverride.

Here are few other tips:

Alias /nytest /var/www/nytest # this directive will make the directory accessible at http://localgost/nytest in case that your DocumentRoot is not '/var/www/' but '/var/www/html/' as it is by default
<Directory /var/www/nytest>
 Options +Indexes
 IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst NameWidth=* DescriptionWidth=* # better appearance
 DirectoryIndex Disabled # disable the 'execution' of the index files
 AllowOverride None # disable .htaccess files
 AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml .php .phtml .php5 # display these file types as plain text
 php_admin_flag engine off # don't run arbitrary PHP code; if you've other scripting languages, disable them too.
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 Require all granted
</Directory>
