Topic: Editing the autoindex

[Onetoomanysodas]

In the httpd.conf configuration file, how could I get Apache to direct the user to a specific file instead of autoindexing. The file would be a php autoindex file with the folder in the url argument. Thank you.

At first you need to set that your script is called.
DirectoryIndex YourIndex.php index.php index.htm index.html
Secondly you need to use mod_rewrite please see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/rewriteguide.html for that.

Thank you, I was aware of calling the script in the arguments for the DirectoryIndex line. I am still somewhat confused how I can do this.

There is one file, let's say "/MyIndex.php" (under the base directory), that I want Apache to redirect to in case of a folder without and index file is requested or if the requested file/directory does not exist.

MyIndex.php accepts one argument in the GET variable so I'm hoping to sent it the requested directory to a variable "request". If we pretend that "$R" is the requested directory as a string, then to show you what I'm hoping to accomplish in Apache demonstrated with PHP: the redirect would look like this:

Yes I know this is a double-post bump but I would really appreciate it if someone took the time to read and reply please. Thank you.
