I've got a webserver from Vultr running on CentOS Stream 9. The files I want people to be able to download are stored on a separate hard drive mounted to /mnt/box/public/. I've set Apache to host it as a file index. Apache won't allow downloading the files, but instead displays them as text. This isn't a problem if the files are stored in Apache's web folder /var/www/ but I want the files to be on the other drive.

I'm quite new to Linux stuff. I tried disabling SELinux and following this guide, but neither fixed it.

Figured it out.

Trying to have Apache use utf-8 (to display ö and ä specifically) I had set ForceType text/html; charset=utf-8 in httpd.conf which did display the filenames in utf-8 but also made the files display as text.

After this I needed to figure out how to use utf-8 as AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 didn't work. IndexOptions Charset=UTF-8 fixed that problem
