It’s simple, but I get excited about teaching myself things. For instance, before today, I didn’t know how to even get a folder listing on Apache. Today, I learned about:
- Using alias in httpd.conf to create a URL alias to a local folder
- Then how to deny file listings for all folders that don’t have an index file unless I explicitly say so with a .htaccess file in that folder.
- Learned about FancyIndexing and things like AddIcon (for custom icons depending on the file type), DefaultIcon and finally, IndexStyleSheet and HeaderName options in .htaccess.
- Then I had to coble together some simple CSS and a Header.html file to make it look sexy.
I’m quite proud of myself :)
