The Index Manager in cPanel allows you to control how directories are displayed when no index file is present. This article explains how to use the Index Manager in cPanel to manage directory listing settings for your website.
Steps to use the Index Manager in cPanel:
- Log in to your cPanel Account.
- Search for the Advanced section, click on the Indexes.
- Select the required directory and click the Edit button next to it to change the index type for that folder. From here, you can choose how the directory should be displayed when no index file is present.
- If you see, there are four indexing settings for all directories:
- Inherit: Uses the parent directory’s settings. If the parent directory doesn’t have any defined settings, the system defaults to showing the index.
- No Indexing: No files appear if a default file is missing.
- Show Filename Only: Here, it will show a list of the present files if the default file is missing.
- Show Filename and Description: Shows a list of files and their attributes, such as file size and file type. Now you have to select the best option for your requirements and click on Save.
- A green confirmation shows that the update was successfully made.
