Question

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 > Apache & nginx Settings.

  3. Add the following configuration:

    • to the Additional nginx directives field:

      CONFIG_TEXT: location /shared/ {
      autoindex on;
      }

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

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

  4. Apply the changes.

     

    To disable the directory browsing, remove the directives above.
