Folders directory shows instead of store

[jesse9201]

Just installed it, but when I point my browser to my domain name, all of my folders (admin, images, etc...) show up instead of the store.

 

How do I protect my store so that you cannot view any of the folders?

I think it is beacause you need to setup PHP ini to recognise default.php as your home page.

 

Or you could make a redirect script from index.php to default.php

that's really bad.

 

do this

 

go to application_top make sure and change the default page to 'index.php'

 

then do this, go to catalog/default.php and rename it catalog/index.php

 

also, don't forget to rename the langage folders, such as catalog/includes/languages/english/default.php to catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

let us know how it goes. that's the easiest way.

You could use an .htaccess file that directs what to do in what order when no file name is setup.

 

I have in my root an .htaccess file that has:

 

DiRectoryindex index.shtml index.html index.htm index.php default.php /missing.html

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

AddHandler server-parsed .html

AddHandler server-parsed .htm

 

This pretty much covers all the bases and any missing files or non-protected directories also are handled by the missing page.
