Logicman 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi folks. I was setting up a site and I noticed that if you don't have an index file, it shows you the directory contents i.e, directory browsing is enabled by default, which presents a security risk. Why isn't this switched off as a default? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Bruce 16 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 You can turn it off in cPanel. Select Index Manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Logicman 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 You can turn it off in cPanel. Select Index Manager. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, Bruce. I'll do that. I still think, however, that it shouldn't be on as a default setting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Don 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 You can also put an index file in your reseller account > skeleton > public_html folder and then any accounts you create will have that index file. To display the skeleton directory path in WHMClick on the Skeleton Directory link in the Account Functions menu. The skeleton directory path is now displayed You can also have a default .htaccess file for your accounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deverill 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I'm just guessing but I'd say it may be the way the software works that we use to provision accounts. Some things, like Cpanel, come preconfigured a certain way and it would take an act of Congress to change them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
