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 *~
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.html
The 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
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/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/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>
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/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.
