Options directive

Purpose

The Options directive controls which server features are available in a given directory. The Windows version supports only one discrete option, so all is redundant. This will change in the future.

Scope

This directive applies to both the Global ACF as well as per-directory ACFs.

Syntax

Options opt1 opt2 ... optn

Each opt is one of the following:

None
No features are enabled for in directory.
All
All features are enabled for in directory.
Indexes
The server allows users to request indexes in this directory. Disabling this option disables ONLY the server-generated indexes. It does not stop the server from sending any precompiled index file it may find in there (the name of which depends on DirectoryIndex).

Default

If no Options directives are given for this directory or any of its parents, httpd assumes:

Options All

Example

Options Indexes

The server would allow users to index this directory and its subdirectories.
