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 directives for HTTP and Additional directives for HTTPS fields:

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

    • to the Additional nginx directives field:

      CONFIG_TEXT: location /shared/ {
      autoindex on;
      }

  4. Apply the changes.

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

    Hello Myhost

    This isn't allowed by Apache design.

    Invalid Apache configuration: AH00526: Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/vhosts/system/mywebsite.co.uk/conf/vhost.conf: Invalid command 'location', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

    Hi John Biddulph

    It looks like you tried to insert nginx directives into the additional directives fields for Apache (Additional directives for HTTP/HTTPS).
