Question

If you omit the filename from a URL, the Apache web server displays a list of files and directories if the specified directory doesn’t contain a ________________ such as index.php.

Answer 1

Default File

Step-by-step explanation:

When a website is visited from a web browser without the explicit specification of the complete path of the file with the URL, the webserver will look for the file named index.html or index.php from the public_html files and render the contents of the file.

The name index. html or index.php is commonly used for the default page which is the page displayed to a visitor that does not specify a particular page for example (mysite/contact_us), so if the file path "contact_us" is omitted, the visitor will be taken to the "index" also known as the home page of "mysite".
