How to enable/disable directory browsing for a domain in Plesk for Linux?


Answer

Note: By default, directory listing is disabled for security reasons.

In the example below, directory listing is enabled for the shared directory (example.com/shared/). Change this directory to your own in the configuration below.

1.Log in to Plesk.

2.Go to Domains > example.com > Hosting & DNS > Apache & nginx Settings.

3.Add the following configuration:

• to the Additional directives for HTTP and Additional directives for HTTPS fields:

Code Select Expand

<Location /shared/>
Options +Indexes
</Location>

• to the Additional nginx directives field (available if nginx is enabled):

Code Select Expand

location /shared/ {
autoindex on;
}
4.Apply the changes.

Note: To disable the directory browsing, remove the directives above.
