- Some CS users want to display the contents of a directory (located under their public_html directory), however, CS has directory indexes disabled sitewide (to prevent people from inadvertently disclosing files by accident).
- But, you can still display the contents of the directory using one of two methods:
Method 1: Using an index.html File
- You can create an index.html file that contains links to the contents of the directory.
Method 2: Using a .htaccess File
- You can add a .htaccess (don't forget the . ) file to the directory with the following contents:
Options +Indexes
- Make sure your .htaccess file has 604 permissions, just like all other CS webpages need. If in doubt:
chmod 604 .htaccess
- The settings in a .htaccess file apply to the directory it is in and to any of its subdirectories (recursively).
