mod_dir.c file, and is compiled in by default. It provides for directory indexing.
index.html. The DirectoryIndex directive sets the name of this file.This sets the alternate text to display for a file, instead of an icon, for FancyIndexing. File is a file extension, partial filename, wild-card expression or full filename for files to describe. String is enclosed in double quotes ("). This alternate text is displayed if the client is image-incapable or has image loading disabled.
This sets the alternate text to display for a file, instead of an icon, for FancyIndexing. MIME-encoding is a valid content-encoding, such as x-compress. String is enclosed in double quotes ("). This alternate text is displayed if the client is image-incapable or has image loading disabled.
This sets the alternate text to display for a file, instead of an icon, for FancyIndexing. MIME-type is a valid content-type, such as text/html. String is enclosed in double quotes ("). This alternate text is displayed if the client is image-incapable or has image loading disabled.
This sets the description to display for a file, for FancyIndexing. File is a file extension, partial filename, wild-card expression or full filename for files to describe. String is enclosed in double quotes ("). Example:
AddDescription "The planet Mars" /web/pics/mars.gif
This sets the icon to display next to a file ending in name for FancyIndexing. Icon is either a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon, or of the format (alttext,url) where alttext is the text tag given for an icon for non-graphical browsers.
Name is either ^^DIRECTORY^^ for directories, ^^BLANKICON^^ for blank lines (to format the list correctly), a file extension, a wildcard expression, a partial filename or a complete filename. Examples:
AddIcon (IMG,/icons/image.xbm) .gif .jpg .xbm
AddIcon /icons/dir.xbm ^^DIRECTORY^^
AddIcon /icons/backup.xbm *~
AddIconByType should be used in preference to AddIcon, when possible.
This sets the icon to display next to files with mime-encoding for FancyIndexing. Icon is either a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon, or of the format (alttext,url) where alttext is the text tag given for an icon for non-graphical browsers.
Mime-encoding is a wildcard expression matching required the content-encoding. Examples:
AddIconByEncoding /icons/compress.xbm x-compress
This sets the icon to display next to files of type mime-type for FancyIndexing. Icon is either a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon, or of the format (alttext,url) where alttext is the text tag given for an icon for non-graphical browsers.
Mime-type is a wildcard expression matching required the mime types. Examples:
AddIconByType (IMG,/icons/image.xbm) image/*
The DefaultIcon directive sets the icon to display for files when no specific icon is known, for FancyIndexing. Url is a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon. Examples:
DefaultIcon /icon/unknown.xbm
DirectoryIndex index.htmlThe DirectoryIndex directive sets the list of resources to look for, when the client requests an index of the directory by specifying a / at the end of the a directory name. Local-url is the (%-encoded) URL of a document on the server relative to the requested directory; it is usually the name of a file in the directory. Several URLs may be given, in which case the server will return the first one that it finds. If none of the resources exist and the Indexes option is set, the server will generate its own listing of the directory.
Example:
DirectoryIndex index.html
then a request for http://myserver/docs/ would return http://myserver/docs/index.html if it exists, or would list the directory if it did not.
Note that the documents do not need to be relative to the directory;
DirectoryIndex index.html index.txt /cgi-bin/index.pl
would cause the CGI script /cgi-bin/index.pl to be executed if neither index.html or index.txt existed in a directory.
The FancyIndexing directive sets the FancyIndexing option for a directory. Boolean can be on or off. The IndexOptions directive should be used in preference.
The HeaderName directive sets the name of the file that will be inserted at the top of the index listing. Filename is the name of the file to include, and is taken to be relative to the directory being indexed. The server first attempts to include filename.html as an HTML document, otherwise it will include filename as plain text. Example:
HeaderName HEADER
when indexing the directory /web, the server will first look for the HTML file /web/HEADER.html and include it if found, otherwise it will include the plain text file /web/HEADER, if it exists.
See also ReadmeName.
The IndexIgnore directive adds to the list of files to hide when listing a directory. File is a file extension, partial filename, wildcard expression or full filename for files to ignore. Multiple IndexIgnore directives add to the list, rather than the replacing the list of ignored files. By default, the list contains `.'. Example:
IndexIgnore README .htaccess *~
The IndexOptions directive specifies the behavior of the directory indexing. Option can be one of
<Directory /web/docs>
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
</Directory>
<Directory /web/docs/spec>
IndexOptions ScanHTMLTitles
</Directory>
then only ScanHTMLTitles will be set for the /web/docs/spec directory.
The ReadmeName directive sets the name of the file that will be appended to the end of the index listing. Filename is the name of the file to include, and is taken to be relative to the directory being indexed. The server first attempts to include filename.html as an HTML document, otherwise it will include filename as plain text. Example:
ReadmeName README
when indexing the directory /web, the server will first look for the HTML file /web/README.html and include it if found, otherwise it will include the plain text file /web/README, if it exists.
