Hi, I'm using a .htaccess file in my root directory to change the page the default directory using DirectoryIndex home.asp When I do this, then it changes it for all subdirectories too. For example, in http://www.mysite.org/snobbinsfilms/, it looks for home.asp as well, where-as before, it knew what the homepage was. Is there anyway I can make it for JUST that directory? Thanks Levi [Edited by - levjs on February 2, 2006 8:32:23 AM]

You shouls use something like this:

DirectoryIndex home.asp index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm

left entries trump right entries, so if there's a home.asp and an index.html, Apache will use home.asp.

to add to the above, sub directories automatically inherit permissions for the parent directory, hence why it changed in them all. I believe there is an apache setting to stop them inheriting.

Might be useful if you ever have a similar problem.

That is what I was looking for when I asked this. It would be helpful. [smile]
