[SOLVED] Apache does not serve index.htm files

[jordanwb]

Mr server runs Gentoo Linux. If I were to make a folder and put an index.htm file in it, and pointed my browser to that folder, I get a directory listing instead of index.htm This does not happen with index.php files though.

You need to add index.htm to your DirectoryIndex directive in Apaches httpd.conf

 

After applying the changes Apache will need to be restarted

[jordanwb]

Do I put that inside a VirtualHost directive, or inside the Directory directive?

[wildteen88]

Its up to you. Adding it to a VirtualHost it'll only apply to that host. Whereas adding DirectoryIndex will apply globally.

[jordanwb]

so it would be like this:

 

DirectoryIndex: index.htm, index.php

[wildteen88]

remove the comma. Just separate each index with a space

[jordanwb]

Okay then.

 

Thanks.
