I’m trying to pretty up the default directory view in apache with an htaccess

  • 0

I’m trying to pretty up the default directory view in apache with an htaccess file. I’ve done pretty much everything I want to do, except change the default verbiage for the title. By default, it says something like:

"Index of [folder_name]"

and if I use this:

# SPECIFY HEADER FILE
HeaderName /apache/header.html

in htaccess, I can include my own header title, which I like because I can add CSS styling and whatnot, but I cannot make the title change with each folder I visit. Is there a way to do this?

    I think you want IndexOptions +SuppressHTMLPreamble.

    From the Apache mod_autoindex docs:

    If the file specified by HeaderName contains the beginnings of an HTML document (<html>, <head>, etc.) then you will probably want to set IndexOptions +SuppressHTMLPreamble, so that these tags are not repeated.
