I think you're mis-observing something here. The relationship is exactly the intiutitive relationship as its described at the top of mod_autoindex: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_autoindex.html Summary The index of a directory can come from one of two sources: * A file written by the user, typically called index.html. The DirectoryIndex directive sets the name of this file. This is controlled by mod_dir. * Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. The other directives control the format of this listing. The AddIcon, AddIconByEncoding and AddIconByType are used to set a list of icons to display for various file types; for each file listed, the first icon listed that matches the file is displayed. These are controlled by mod_autoindex. -/- mod_autoindex works without mod_dir loaded and works with mod_dir loaded as when you request a directory that doesn't have one of the named DirectoryIndex files. If it's failing for you, it's something more nuanced (like some other directives changing where the request is mapped to) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
