Overview<\/h2>\n

Visitors see the index page by default when they access a directory (for example, index.html<\/code>). The DirectoryIndex Priority<\/em> interface allows you to specify the filenames that Apache recognizes and displays as index pages. You can also set the priority in which Apache selects an index page if more than one of these filenames appears in a directory.<\/p>\n

To perform these actions, the system modifies the \/usr\/local\/apache\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/code> file. For example, if you configure the system to display the index.php<\/code> file, the system adds the following line:<\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
1\n<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n
\n
DirectoryIndex index.php<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Add a new filename<\/h2>\n
To add a new filename to the list of index pages that Apache recognizes, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Click Add<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. Enter the name of the index file that you wish to add (for example, index.nick<\/code>).<\/li>\n
  3. Click OK<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  4. Click Save<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  5. Click Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache to configure Apache<\/em> to use the new DirectoryIndex settings.\n
      \n
    • To restart Apache later, use WHM\u2019s HTTP Server (Apache)<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Restart Services >> HTTP Server (Apache)<\/em>) or run the \/scripts\/restartsrv_httpd<\/code> command via SSH as the root<\/code> user.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Remove a filename<\/h2>\n
      To remove filenames from the list of index pages that Apache recognizes, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. In the available menu, select the index file or files that you wish to remove.<\/li>\n
      2. Click Remove<\/em>.<\/li>\n
      3. Click Save<\/em>.<\/li>\n
      4. Click Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache<\/em> to configure Apache to use the new DirectoryIndex settings.\n
          \n
        • To restart Apache later, use WHM\u2019s HTTP Server (Apache)<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Restart Services >> HTTP Server (Apache)<\/em>) or run the \/scripts\/restartsrv_httpd<\/code> command via SSH as the root<\/code> user.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          Set index page name priority<\/h2>\n
          Filenames that the interface displays higher in the menu have a higher priority than names that are lower in the menu.<\/p>\n
          To reorder the priority of index page names that Apache recognizes, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n
            \n
          1. In the available menu, select the index file that you wish to move up or down in priority.<\/li>\n
          2. Click Move Up<\/em> or Move Down<\/em> to change the filename\u2019s order.\n
              \n
            • For example, if you want index.html<\/code> to appear instead of index.php<\/code>, select index.html<\/code> from the menu and click Move Up<\/em> until index.html<\/code> is higher in the menu than the index.php<\/code> entry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
            • Click Save<\/em>.<\/li>\n
            • Click Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache<\/em> to configure Apache to use the new DirectoryIndex settings.\n
                \n
              • To restart Apache later, use WHM\u2019s HTTP Server (Apache)<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Restart Services >> HTTP Server (Apache)<\/em>) or run the \/scripts\/restartsrv_httpd<\/code> command via SSH as the root<\/code> user.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
