DirectoryIndex
The DirectoryIndex is the file that appears first when you specify a Web site or directory without a
file name. For example, when a Website is displayed on your account, the DirectoryIndex page is
index.html, followed by index.htm and default.htm. To change the order or add a different file name:
- Telnet or SSH into your account. See the Getting
Started Guide for further instructions.
- Browse to the directory you want to change the DirectoryIndex for. If this is
your main Web page, type the following at the UNIX shell prompt, then press
cd www/htdocs
- After you are in the directory you want to change, edit the .htaccess file in pico, vi, or
another text editor of your choice.
- Add the following line to the end of the .htaccess file, then press Enter:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml
Note: Replace file_name with the name of the file you
want displayed first. You also can add additional directories by adding that directory
and file name after file_name.
