If the files listed in DirectoryIndex aren't found (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex), and your effective value of the Options directive includes "Indexes" (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options), then this module shows you a directory listing: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_autoindex.html If Options does not include "Indexes", you'll get a forbidden error instead. If one of the files in the DirectoryIndex list are present, it's just displayed. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
