HOWTO: Apache index page banner?

  • 772

I'd like Apache index pages to show my company banner w/ link to homepage on top.

Instead of:

Index of /pub/something

to show

[Company Banner]
Index of /pub/something

I added these lines to .htaccess: 

HeaderName HEADER.html 
ReadmeName README.html

and edited HEADER.html to include banner with link but that banner is only shown to /pub and not /pub/dir pages.

THis is what i currently have in .htaccess:

Options +Indexes
HeaderName HEADER.html
ReadmeName README.html
apache-2.2

    I think I've got it.

    You're using a relative path to your HEADER.html and your Readme.html. That makes Apache look for the files within whatever directory you're in.

    Instead, the lines should (presumably) read something like this:

    HeaderName /pub/HEADER.html
ReadmeName /pub/README.html

    (of course, replace "pub" with whatever directory the files are actually in!)
