Default page order

[lloyd_borrett]

G'day,

File names like default.htm, default.html, index.htm, index.html, index.php are commonly used as the first file to be loaded when a user hits a web directory.

On an IIS server I know how to specify the priority or order ranking of those files. For example, load index.htm before index.html before index.php.

I'm assuming there is a way to do that with Apache server.

Is there a global default order setting for all Jaguar web servers that we all inherit, and if so what is it?

Can we customise the order in our web space to suit our own requirements, and if so how?

Best Regards, Lloyd.

There is a default order that is specified in one of the Apache conf files, but since I'm JailShelled, I can't look at that file anymore to tell you what it is. You can, however, set your own list in .htaccess. Just add a line like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm default.html default.htm home.html

That will override the server settings for your site and use whatever you specify in the order that you specify.

Hello,

This is Apache's default off one of our servers (not sure if its the same on all):

DirectoryIndex index.html index.wml index.cgi index.shtml index.jsp index.js index.jp index.php4 index.php3 index.php index.phtml index.htm default.htm default.html home.htm
