    Website Question

    Hi All,
    I recently made a website for a non profit that I co founded and I had a quick question. I'm trying to post the minutes of our meetings up so that the directors can view them. I'm not sure what it's called but I want it so that when you go to a folder it just shows all of the files inside of that folder. I've seen this before but can't for the life of me figure out what folder I put them in so that it can be viewed by the public (but it would be like www.something.org/somefolder and then it'd show the list of files in that folder. Thanks!

    As per my guess its a cpanel server... it must be uploaded into public_html
    so that you can view the pages .....

    You need to change the Apache config to allow indexes on the directory.


    Code:
    <Directory /path/to/files>
   Options Indexes All FollowSymLinks MultiViews
</Directory>
    It is the indexes that allows the browsing.

    In my Ubuntu server this is done in the individual site files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/; in other distros it could be in apache2.conf or httpd.conf, these will be in the apache directory.

    You will need to bounce the web server for the change to take effect.

    If it is a control panel look for something like "Allow Directory Browsing"
    If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate! (Zapp Brannigan)


    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
