Setting up Apache directory root behavior
- by Corey
I'm running Apache on a Windows machine for local testing and I'm new to it.
Currently, if I navigate to localhost/ in a web browser, it will display an index.html page if one exists. Otherwise, it will display the directory listing.
How can I make it so that navigating to a root directory will display more than index.html? What I need is so that if either: index.html, index.htm, or index.php exist, it will navigate to one of those.
How can I disable showing directory roots? I would like it to return a 403 Forbidden error if no index page exists.
