htaccess question

[cme4pt]

I need to modify a htaccess file so that accessing a particular directory produces the default file instead of the directory listing.

for example /myfolder/default.php

A little help?

Redirect /myfolder/index.htm
http://www.your_site.com/myfolder/default.php
edit the paths, create a BLANK index.htm and place in directory /myfolder/
upload in ASCII confirm DOT htaccess and presto!

You don't really need to use .htaccess to accomplish this - just make sure you name your default document either index.html or index.php. That's much less work for the server than having it read your .htaccess each time a file in that directory is accessed.

Unless, of course, you really need for your default document to be named 'default.htm". ;)

HTH,

Unfortunately the file is part of a shopping cart package and it is named default.php. Would have been easier otherwise.

Thanks for the assist!

Does this work for these file types as well?

you could make an index.php and put this in it.


<?php
include "directory/default.php";
?>


i think that should work, i dont know much php, but, i think it will work
