Topic: Directory Browsing Without Showing Path

[moonbug]

I allowed directory browsing but it always shows the directory path. How can I prevent it from showing the directory path (Index of ...)? For example, the web page displays:

Index of folder1/folder2 <-I want this gone
* parent directory
* filename 1
* filename 2

You have to write a script that displayes that. Or chamge the sour from apache and compile it.

by including an empty HEADER file

You can set it to a full path like /HEADER in the config and it should use the same file for all indexes

But why remove it?

The user can see that in the url aswel!

/private just meast it the folder private in the root of the server that is also reflected in the url http://domain.com/private?

Is there a way to do this without recompiling Apache?
Reason I'm doing it is for the looks only. Sometimes the path is long about 5 sub directories.

I have seen some Apache where the INDEX line is not displayed at all, only displays the parent directory.

Jorge's suggestion is correct, but maybe you misunderstood what he meant.
There is no need to re-compile Apache.

Create an empty text file named HEADER.html in your web root directory.

Edit the file {ApacheDirectory}\conf\extra\httpd-autoindex.conf

near the bottom of this file is the line:
HeaderName HEADER.html

change it to:
HeaderName /HEADER.html

Restart Apache

All your directory listings will no longer show the directory path at the top of the page.
