Quick web question.

[Dim]

I want people to be able to type www.offthewoodwork.com/digitalpics/ without being told it's forbidden, cus it hasn't got an index.html, I want them just to able to view a list of files. I've done it before but I forgot

[Edify]

why dont u make an index and just post links within site to each individual picture. this is easy unless u have many many pics.

[Dim]

Because then everytime I uploaded a new pic I'd have to re-edit the index.html file and I have two PCs so I'd have to keep re-downloading.

[Dim]

Also why do something manually when I know damn well it's possible for it to be done automatically.

[Bigyin]

if u use cpanel to mange ur site (what twsites use)

go to Index Manager then click on what folder you want to edit
change it to "Fancying Indexing (graphics)" or "Standard Indexing (text only)"

the forbidden part u might need to take pass off or something i dont know

Maybe, just maybe it has something to do with the access permissions of the directory itself.

If so, general users do not have 'read' permission. You could change this yourself if you had access to the command-line / text-input account linked to your webspace.

or make an index.htm that grabs all the files of the server and links to them, no need to update, that does the script for you

:up:

change the permission of the directory to allow everybory read, prolly its a unix/lnx server and doing this you gonna let the user that webserver runs in read there and may solve ur problem.

if you cant do that just find out if your server has php support and create a simple script index.php .

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
           echo "$file <br>\n";
       }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}
?>

[Dim]

Can I get the script to make them hyperlinked?

Have you ever fucked Steph?

Directory indexing is a feature of the web server you're on.

If the feature is turned on, change your permissions as Schope said and you should be good to go.

If the feature isn't enabled and your web server is Apache, add a .htaccess file in the directory with the line: Options +Indexes
