"index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content

[Connie]

some short info:

there is a directive for .htaccess-file to define what to do when the URL loads a directory but no file:

if that is the case, all files of that directory will be presented as a list.
To prevent his, add this directive to your .htacces-file:

Code:

Options All -Indexes

if you have more than one index-file, you can define which of these should be the default index-file if the URL loads a directory but not a file:

for example:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html

defines that if index.php exists it should be loaded in case the URL contains no file-name prior to other index-files.
