Chapter 6. Handling directories

There are two solutions to this issue. The ﬁrst, and simplest, is to nominate a ﬁlename

(such as index.html) and instruct that if a directory is requested which contains a

ﬁle with this name then that ﬁle should be treated as the target of the request. This is

the approach we will follow in the Section called Using default documents.

The other approach is to give a listing of the directory’s contents, typically in HTML

format. We will cover this in the Section called Automatic indexing of directories.

Using default documents

Loading the module

We will add lines to the conﬁguration ﬁle to load the module and to set up a default

ﬁle. Because we want this functionality for both websites we place the instruction

outside and before the virtual host sections.

LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm

Figure 6-2. httpd.conf: Using dir_module

Note that we have a new command DirectoryIndex which is the only additional

command provided by dir_module. It is passed a list of the defaults to use if the

directory is looked for. If a directory is requested then the web server will look for

index.html in the directory because that ﬁlename is the ﬁrst argument to the com-

mand. If index.html is missing then the server will look for index.htm, the second

quoted name. If neither is present then the web server will give a not found error.

Remember the server must reload its conﬁguration to pick up these new instructions.
