Sludgies Website

I know its not very exciting (no offence like :wink: ) but I want to know how to do that. It's like its automated or something - when you upload something new, just update the index.html with a few clicks - well that's how I imagine its done (and would like to do)

Sludgie? Anyone?

[IsO_LighT]

that's just running a server or setting the visitor rivileges on the server to view any files present on the server. (normally you get the acces denied or 404 error if there is no index/html/index.html/index.php)

[Xepha]

Ah, I see...

Well i have been playing around with a little proggy called DirHTML: http://home.pacbell.net/nitzsche/dirhtml/dirhtml.html

and it kinda does what i'm after: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/xepha

But I rather hoping it was a program he was using, should've guessed from the "Apache..." stuff at the bottom...

[Erotic-Sludge]

I use a programme called Flashfxp (http://www.flashfxp.com/index.php) to upload stuff onto my webspace.

:D

you can see all fies because there is noe index page index.htm or index.html index.php

i use cuteftp it works a lot like windows explore or nero if you like easy to configure and easy to use

Apache can be configured to not show a directory listing if $USER tries to access a file that doesn't exist:

When you say DON'T, naturally we all do. If I could do it all over again, I'd take the advice of Zero Stink Finger and Saus on this one and DON'T LOOK. 8O 8O

Dot :lol:

[IsO_LighT]

Roger that... :puppydog:

[Xepha]

you can see all files because there is no index page - index.htm, index.html or index.php

So where does the html come from that makes up the page that I view when I go to his site/server?

I'm fine when it comes to ftp/uploading (got filezilla and ws-ftp here), I just don't want to mess around editing html when all I want is a listing of whats on my (rather empty atm) website. I suppose my little proggy will do for now, I just rather liked the basic layout of sludgies site.

Btw, some very strange things you have on there sludgie... :wink:

Its all handled server-side. If you point your browser to web space that has no home page you will just get a raw directory contents listing (assuming the server has been set up to allow this).

[Vampyre]

This is a normal way of apache to show a directory listing when direcory indexes is "set"
You can enable this feature in a .htaccess file or in the apache configuration it self.

more info: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#directory

Dunno if this will help you though Xepha, maybe ask someone with a littlebit experience in this to help you.
The html is automaticly generated btw, but you can control it a bit (like add icons for specific file types, change layout, change header/footer, stuff like that)

checkout the link for the complete apache manual :-)

OI SLUDGE!

had a brouse threw you half life folder
how come you are always on full heath and sheald?
i cant stay on 100/100 for more than a minet or 2

[Xepha]

Should have guessed it was automatic, but as is probably apparent, my understandings of websites and html malarky is quite rudimentary... Suppose I'll have to learn a bit of html after all! (not too much tho, this brains getting old, feels like it anyway! :lol: )

Hopefully with a bit of hacking around I can at least try and emulate that apache stuff... :)
