Hi Robert, mod_autoindex was not very well documentented at that time. Here is a snapshot of you might need:
# # ReadmeName: the name of the README file the server will look for by # default, and append to directory listings. # # HeaderName: the name of a file which should be prepended to # directory indexes. # # The module recognize only 2 kind of mime-types, text/html and # text/*, but the only method it has to identify them is via # the filename extension. The default is to include and display # html files. # ReadmeName README.html HeaderName HEADER.html # Otherwise you can comment the 2 lines above and uncomment # the 2 below in order to display plain text files. # # ReadmeName README.txt # HeaderName HEADER.txt Please let me know if it helps.
