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.
Not even thinking of contradicting what Eric writes above, but just as an addition to it :
I think what may confuse you is the following : In your URL HTTP://domain.com/somedirectory/?C=xx;O=yythe part after the "?" is considered not as part of the URL, but as the "query string". So the real URL Apache is looking for is
HTTP://domain.com/somedirectory/ and then, what Eric write above applies.In other words, you would get just the same result from Apache by entering just
HTTP://domain.com/somedirectory/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
