If the file is not displaying maybe is because of the wrong <p> tag above. The < is missing from <p> ...Firefox has couple of plugins that can show you errors like this one.
Also maybe try to include the following meta tag in the <head> section of the README.html to tell apache it is text/html file for sure:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here by modifying these files.
To get the directory listing, from mod_autoindex documentation:
"Automatic index generation is enabled with usingOptions +Indexes. See theOptionsdirective for more details."
If you have a look at Options directive:
Indexes- If a URL which maps to a directory is requested, and there is no
DirectoryIndex(e.g.,index.html) in that directory, thenmod_autoindexwill return a formatted listing of the directory.
So all you need to get a directory listing is:
1. Optins +Indexes (in the directory command)
2. You should NOT have any index file in that directoryOn Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 8:26 AM, Stan Laughlin <stan.laughlin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Folks,
I am running an Ubuntu 11.10 server w/Apache 2.2.
I am familiar with linux and command line but not familiar w/Apache.
When enter the server IP address like this to a browser URL (pretend IP here) : 10.10.10.10/doc/
It will list the default directory Index for the /usr/share/doc/ directory. All very nice.
Then I edit autoindex.conf for these two values "HeaderName HEADER.html" and "ReadmeName README.html"
Restart apache and refresh browser.
This is the HEADER.html
<html>
<head>
<title>"STAN'S DOC INDEX"</title>
</head>
</html>
This is the README.html
<html>
<head>
<title>"README FILE </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>README FILE</H1>
p>This is the readme file</p>
</body>
</html>
The web page shows the "STAN'S DOC INDEX" title. But there is no directory listing and there is no README info.
The 'dir.conf' file looks like this
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex HEADER.html index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
If I remove the HEADER.html text then the page reverts back to the default display and shows the directory index.
So...obviously the thing is picking up the HEADER.html but why isn't it picking up anything else?
I have been trying to make this work for several days.
I have read and re-read the autoindex and Directory module pages. Because I'm new at this they are somewhat confusing. A possible solution is the htaccess file but the mod page strongly recommends not going that route.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
