DirectoryIndex

Specify the name of a page to display if a directory is requested.

Synopsis

The default is blank.

Scope

This directive is only available for use in the local (catalog.cfg) configuration file.  It will not affect any other website in any way.  This directive will not work in the global (interchange.cfg) configuration file. 

Description

If a directory is requested, this page will be shown, if present in the directory.  The value of this directive will be appended to the requested path (with a separating "/", if appropriate).

Note Although the name of this directive was borrowed from the Apache Web Server, it only accepts one filename.  Apache supports multiple filenames to look for in a sequential order.  Interchange only accepts one filename.
