Listing files in a particular web directory...

[beansbaxter]

How do you make a website folder, when displayed in any browser, just list all the files in that folder (directory)?

As an example, here is a web link:

http://ccc.ru/web/moto/

When you goto that web link, it just lists an index of all the files in that particular directory. How do I accomplish this??

I'm sure this is something easy, just never knew how to do it.

I think this is a feature of webserver, in the case of http://ccc.ru/web/moto/ this is Apache which can be configured to do this when directory URL is requested and there is not the default document present in it (usually index.html or default.html). I don't know if this configuration is possible for all webservers, but surely you can create CGI skript to do this (or some kind of PHP, ASP, JSP or any .SP ...)

And how or where would I configure that?

Edit the httpd.conf file. Look for the virtual host of the correlating site, and enter:

[Directory /path/to/wherever]
Options -Indexes
[/Directory]

Make sure "/path/to/wherever" is the actual directory.

Replace brackets with less than and greater than. This board wouldnt let me post them.

Then restart apache.
