<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>The index of a directory can come from one of two sources:</p>
<ul>
<li>A file written by the user, typically called
<code>index.html</code>. The <code class="directive"><a href="#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</a></code> directive sets the
name of this file. This is controlled by
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code>.</li>
<li>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. This is
provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The two functions are separated so that you can completely
remove (or replace) automatic index generation should you want
to.</p>
<p>A "trailing slash" redirect is issued when the server
receives a request for a URL
<code>http://servername/foo/dirname</code> where
<code>dirname</code> is a directory. Directories require a
trailing slash, so <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code> issues a redirect to
<code>http://servername/foo/dirname/</code>.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">DirectoryCheckHandler</code> directive determines
whether <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code> should check for directory indexes or
add trailing slashes when some other handler has been configured for
the current URL. Handlers can be set by directives such as
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code> or by other modules at
runtime. </p>
<p> In releases prior to 2.4, this module did not take any action if any
other handler was configured for a URL. This allows directory indexes to
be served even when a <code class="directive">SetHandler</code> directive is
specified for an entire directory, but it can also result in some conflicts
with other modules.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">DirectoryIndex</code> directive sets the
list of resources to look for, when the client requests an index
of the directory by specifying a / at the end of the directory
name. <var>Local-url</var> is the (%-encoded) URL of a document on
the server relative to the requested directory; it is usually the
name of a file in the directory. Several URLs may be given, in
which case the server will return the first one that it finds. If
none of the resources exist and the <code>Indexes</code> option is
set, the server will generate its own listing of the
directory.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">DirectoryIndex index.html</pre>
</div>
<p>then a request for <code>http://example.com/docs/</code> would
return <code>http://example.com/docs/index.html</code> if it
exists, or would list the directory if it did not.</p>
<p>Note that the documents do not need to be relative to the
directory;</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">DirectoryIndex index.html index.txt /cgi-bin/index.pl</pre>
<p>would cause the CGI script <code>/cgi-bin/index.pl</code> to be
executed if neither <code>index.html</code> or <code>index.txt</code>
existed in a directory.</p>
<p>A single argument of "disabled" prevents <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code> from
searching for an index. An argument of "disabled" will be interpreted
literally if it has any arguments before or after it, even if they are "disabled"
as well.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Multiple <code class="directive">DirectoryIndex</code>
directives within the <a href="../sections.html"><em>same context</em></a> will add
to the list of resources to look for rather than replace:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># Example A: Set index.html as an index page, then add index.php to that list as well.
&lt;Directory "/foo"&gt;
DirectoryIndex index.html
DirectoryIndex index.php
&lt;/Directory&gt;
# Example B: This is identical to example A, except it's done with a single directive.
&lt;Directory "/foo"&gt;
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
&lt;/Directory&gt;
# Example C: To replace the list, you must explicitly reset it first:
# In this example, only index.php will remain as an index resource.
&lt;Directory "/foo"&gt;
DirectoryIndex index.html
DirectoryIndex disabled
DirectoryIndex index.php

<p>By default, the <code class="directive">DirectoryIndex</code> is selected
and returned transparently to the client. <code class="directive">DirectoryIndexRedirect</code> causes an external redirect
to instead be issued.</p>
<p>The argument can be:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>on</code>: issues a 302 redirection to the index resource.</li>
<li><code>off</code>: does not issue a redirection. This is the legacy behaviour of mod_dir.</li>
<li><code>permanent</code>: issues a 301 (permanent) redirection to the index resource.</li>
<li><code>temp</code>: this has the same effect as <code>on</code></li>
<li><code>seeother</code>: issues a 303 redirection (also known as "See Other") to the index resource.</li>
<li><var>3xx-code</var>: issues a redirection marked by the chosen 3xx code.</li>
</ul>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">DirectoryIndexRedirect on</pre>

<p>A request for <code>http://example.com/docs/</code> would

<p>The <code class="directive">DirectorySlash</code> directive determines how
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code> should fixup URLs pointing to a directory or
not.</p>
<p>Typically if a user requests a resource without a trailing slash, which
points to a directory, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code> redirects them to the same
resource, but <em>with</em> trailing slash for some good reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>The user is finally requesting the canonical URL of the resource</li>
<li><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code> works correctly. Since it doesn't emit
the path in the link, it would point to the wrong path.</li>
<li><code class="directive"><a href="#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</a></code> will be evaluated
<em>only</em> for directories requested with trailing slash.</li>
<li>Relative URL references inside html pages will work correctly.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you don't want this effect <em>and</em> the reasons above don't
apply to you, you can turn off the redirect as shown below. However,
be aware that there are possible security implications to doing
this.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># see security warning below!
&lt;Location "/some/path"&gt;
DirectorySlash Off
SetHandler some-handler
&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
<div class="warning"><h3>Security Warning</h3>
<p>Turning off the trailing slash redirect may result in an information
disclosure. Consider a situation where <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code> is
active (<code>Options +Indexes</code>) and <code class="directive"><a href="#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</a></code> is set to a valid resource (say,
<code>index.html</code>) and there's no other special handler defined for
that URL. In this case a request with a trailing slash would show the
<code>index.html</code> file. <strong>But a request without trailing slash
would list the directory contents</strong>.</p>
</div>
<p>Also note that some browsers may erroneously change POST requests into GET
(thus discarding POST data) when a redirect is issued.</p>
<p>To avoid the risks of the "off" behavior above, or to avoid disclosing
that a directory is present via the behavior of "on", an argument of
"NotFound" can be used to tell <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code> to return an HTTP
404 status code instead of redirecting the request to include a trailing slash.</p>

<p>Use this to set a handler for any URL that doesn't map to anything
in your filesystem, and would otherwise return HTTP 404 (Not Found).
For example</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">FallbackResource /not-404.php</pre>
<p>will cause requests for non-existent files to be handled by
<code>not-404.php</code>, while requests for files that exist
are unaffected.</p>
<p>It is frequently desirable to have a single file or resource
handle all requests to a particular directory, except those requests
that correspond to an existing file or script. This is often
referred to as a 'front controller.'</p>
<p>In earlier versions of httpd, this effect typically required
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>, and the use of the <code>-f</code> and
<code>-d</code> tests for file and directory existence. This now
requires only one line of configuration.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">FallbackResource /index.php</pre>
<p>Existing files, such as images, css files, and so on, will be
served normally.</p>
<p>Use the <code>disabled</code> argument to disable that feature
if inheritance from a parent directory is not desired.</p>
<p>In a sub-URI, such as <em>http://example.com/blog/</em> this
<em>sub-URI</em> has to be supplied as <var>local-url</var>:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Directory "/web/example.com/htdocs/blog"&gt;
FallbackResource /blog/index.php
&lt;/Directory&gt;
&lt;Directory "/web/example.com/htdocs/blog/images"&gt;
FallbackResource disabled
&lt;/Directory&gt;</pre>
<p>A fallback handler (in the above case, <code>/blog/index.php</code>)
can access the original requested URL via the server variable
<code>REQUEST_URI</code>. For example, to access this variable in PHP,
use <code>$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']</code>.</p>
