Whenever a visitor requests a path such as http://mydomain/somedir,
the web server will by default generate an index page with links to the
files in the directory. This behavior can be disabled either by explicitely
turning it off in an .htaccess file, or by placing an index file
in the directory. If an index file exists, its contents will be returned
instead.
By default, the following file names are automatically recognized as
index files:
index.html index.cgi
index.htm index.fcgi
index.shtml index.php
There is a good number of configuration parameters that affect this
functionality, see the
Apache manual
for more information.
