Directory /.../Documents

 It basicly searches whatever directory it is being called from to
 find any images/pdfs contained and produce a gallery based on them. I could
 copy this index.php to each of the nested folders but it seems to me there
 must be a more efficient way to do this in Apache. I found that a .htaccess
 file can be placed in a top level directory to call directives on all sub
 folders, but I can't figure out a directive that would achieve this goal.

you can put the DirectoryIndex (providing full path) in .htaccess, you don't
need Directory then. But make sure .htaccess is used and you may override
the DirectoryIndex (see AllowOverride in apache's config).
Not using .htaccess is a bit more effective.

[us...@httpd] Trying to use one index file for all files in a directory

2010-06-10 Thread Jeffrey Schmitz
Hey, it's my first time using this mailing list, so I apologize if I'm doing
something wrong...

That said, I have searched for a way to use the index.php file that I have
created to be the default for all folders nested in a top level Documents
folder. It basicly searches whatever directory it is being called from to
find any images/pdfs contained and produce a gallery based on them. I could
copy this index.php to each of the nested folders but it seems to me there
must be a more efficient way to do this in Apache. I found that a .htaccess
file can be placed in a top level directory to call directives on all sub
folders, but I can't figure out a directive that would achieve this goal.
Thanks for any help!
