The DirectoryIndex directive sets the resources to be searched when a user requests an index, that is, accesses a web page.

The display of a directory's Index can be done in two ways:

  1. By setting the index file by the user using the DirectoryIndex directive (in the .htaccess file, the line DirectoryIndex desiredfileasindex.html is added)
  2. The index will be taken from the preset values in the web server

Note: This directive is valid for the Apache web server. On other web servers, the functionality will be different.
