User Guide

http.index

index sets the list of file names that are used as "index" files. When a directory path is requested instead of a specific file, the directory is checked for existing index files. The first matching file name is served.

The default index files are, in this order:

  1. index.html
  2. index.htm
  3. index.txt
  4. default.html
  5. default.htm
  6. default.txt

Using this directive overwrites the list, it does not append to it.

Syntax

index filenames...

Examples

Use only goaway.png and easteregg.html as index files:

index goaway.png easteregg.html
