Using Index Manager

This tutorial will teach about using the Index Manager. The Index Manager allows you to customize the way a directory will be viewed on the web. When you access a directory (rather than a page) on your site, a visitor will typically see the index page for that directory. If no index page exists, the browser will display a list (or index) of the files in that directory.

On the main cPanel page, scroll down to the Advanced section. There you will click on the Index Manager icon. This will take you to the main Index Manager page. You will see your folders listed there. You can navigate through them by clicking on the icons. When you find the directory you want to address, click on the name.

    Select one of the following options:

        Standard Indexing: Contents appear only as filenames.
        Fancy Indexing: Information about the files, such as the size and time last modified, appear.
        Default System Setting: The default defined by your web host will be used.
        No Indexing: The contents of the directory are not listed. Visitors will see a message that states that the contents are “forbidden.”

    Click Save.

Click on Go Back. You can now exit by clicking on HOME and returning to the main page of your cPanel. This is the end of this tutorial. You can return and change the settings at any time, for any of your directories.

You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.
