Directory Directives
DirectoryIndex
| Description | Define the default index file to serve for directory requests |
| Synopsis | DirectoryIndex document |
| Context | Default Server, Virtual host, Route |
| Example | DirectoryIndex index.html |
| Notes |
The DirectoryIndex directive specifies a document that may be served when a HTTP request is made for a directory. Multiple directory index files may be specified and they will be tested in order. The first index that exists will be served. The DirectoryIndex argument must be a simple filename without any directory portion. If a client requests a directory, but without a trailing "/" in the URI, the client will be redirected to the URI with a trailing "/". When the client then uses that URI, the directory index file will be used for the response. For example: if a DirectoryIndex of "index.html" is specified and a user requests http://www.acme.com/products/. Then the document /products/index.html will be returned to the user. |
IndexOptions
| Description | Define directory indexing options |
| Synopsis | IndexOptions [[+|-] options] ... |

| Synopsis | IndexOrder [Ascending|Descending] [Name|Date|Size|Description] |

| Notes |
This directive controls the order of listings. By default, listings are displayed in filename ascending order. This directive only applies if IndexOptions is set to display listings in fancy format. |
