Apache - directory listing configuration
Is there any way to configure how the directory listing looks?
I have a link on my intranet site that links to a directory, so users can view all the documents in it. but when the directory listing is brought up, the column for the name is not wide enough and cuts off half the documents titles. Also the text is in times new roman, but all my site is written in ariel. I just wondered if the directory listings page is configurable, if so how?
Thanks.

Yeah, take a look at the Apache directive IndexOptions. You can set the column widths and lots of other stuff. You can't, as far as I know, change what font the client browser is going to use unless you want to use DirectoryIndex to feed a pre-built directory listing (in html) to the client.

Sorry, could you dumb it down a little. Which file contains this info? I have found that I need to increase the line-
NameWidth=[n | *]
But I don't know which file it is in.
Thanks.

Apache is controlled by it's configuration file(s) (httpd.conf, srm.conf, access.conf) The location of this files is installation specific, so I can't necessarily tell you where they are. You can look at the init script that starts the server at bootup (probably /etc/rc.d.init.d/http) and it ought to tell you where the config dir is (quite possibly /etc/http/conf).
If you don't have it handy, the Apache docs are on-line at http://www.apache.org/docs/. You'll need to look at them for the syntax of the directives.
