http.index

index sets the list of file names that are used as "index" files. When a directory path is requested instead of a specific file, the directory is checked for existing index files. The first matching file name is served.

The default index files are, in this order:

1. index.html
2. index.htm
3. index.txt
4. default.html
5. default.htm
6. default.txt

Using this directive overwrites the list, it does not append to it.

Syntax

• filenames... is a list of space-separated filenames to try as indexes. At least one name is required.

Examples

Use only goaway.png and easteregg.html as index files:

index goaway.png easteregg.html
