Index Of/ Problem

[SaintsLair1]

Hi All,

 

The "Index of/" page appears when I try to open www.TheCrayonBin.com/store/ . It is located in my public_html folder and has an index.php file. It will load fine with www.TheCrayonBin.com/store/index.php. I just want to keep the folders and files secure and not have them viewable by anyone that comes along. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thank you,

Andy

Hi Andy,

 

Check in the .htaccess in the public_html directory. I'd guess it has a "directoryindex" command which is forcing it not to look at the index.php file.

Thanx Andy,

 

for the speedy reply. I placed .htaccess file into the folder with the line "directoryindex index.php". should this file contain anything else for security reasons?

 

Thanks again,

Andy

You're welcome I'm glad it's all sorted

 

No, you shouldn't need anything else from a security viewpoint.

You may want to add the line:

Options -Indexes

 

to .htaccess as well. That will prevent directory listings from displaying in the event a directory doesn't have an index page.

Thanx Mike, I will.
