Daniel0 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 The directory index appears if there is no index (index.html, index.htm, index.php, index.py or whatever the server is configured to use as index page) file. Alternately it may show a 403 Forbidden error if it is turned off. For a production environment it would serve absolutely no purpose, except if the folder's purpose is to hold various files. On a development environment it can be used to, well... see the contents of the folder. That you saw it was probably not intended.

Daniel0 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Well, Apache is one of the most popular web servers. I'd guess that is in fact is the most popular. Most servers run that.
