Either the main httpd.conf
or the .htaccess
file in this directory or a nearby parent directory probably includes:
Options -Indexes
Your host may have to set it to +Indexes
if you don’t have access in .htaccess
and want to list & browse the directory contents, absent a default index.html, index.php
, etc. If the directory should not have a default file and you don’t enable Indexes
, you may only directly target the filenames of contents within it.
The Indexes
option is commonly disabled by default on many Apache installations.
Full details are available in the Apache core documentation on Options
