display directory contents instead of error

[DMan]

I don't have an index.cfm in my vhost directory nor do I want one. So when I browse to the directory I get 

Error (missinginclude)
Message	Page /index.cfm [/Users/x/Sites/xxxx/xxxx/index.cfm] not found

which is understandable.

How do I turn on directory listings?

Thanks in advance.

[Jon Clausen]

If your lucee install is running on Tomcat, adjust this setting in web.xml:

<init-param>
    <param-name>listings</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>

Most of the embedded Lucee and Railo servers I’ve used have directory listing on by default, though.  Is there possibly an include call in your Application.cfc onRequest() method?

Thanks John.

Lucee express has this off by default. I want this setting server wide hence I'd like to set it once for all sites and not per Site.

I've modified that to true like below:

servlet>

        <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>

        <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>debug</param-name>

            <param-value>0</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>listings</param-name>

            <param-value>true</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

    </servlet>

Restarted Lucee but still I get an error as Tomcat is looking for index.cfm :(

[Jon Clausen]

Do you have any rewrite rules in place which might be directing 404 traffic to index.cfm or a custom 404 handler looking for that file?

Nope nothing, a vanilla Lucee install with just a couple of vhosts in server.xml

[Jordan Michaels]

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html

Use the "resourceOnlyServlets" attribute.

Warm Regards,

You can also do a listening in your application.cfc in the onMissingTemplate method...

I'm trying to do this now with Lucee 5 Express - any clue as to actually use how to use the attribute? I can't find this as an existing setting anywhere.

[Joseph Gooch]

Modify the listings param for defaultservlet in conf/web.xml to true

Modify conf/context.xml

<Context resourceOnlyServlets="LuceeServlet,CFMLServlet">

(Note those are the servlet names from conf/web.xml)

That will probably do it for you... I got a directory index on mine.

However... It also breaks virtual url type things and CGI.PATH_INFO type things.

i.e. I don't think /index.cfm/some/page will work anymore.

To get that back you may want to incorporate something like this:

http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

or this filter:

https://github.com/OpenBD/openbd-core/blob/master/src/com/newatlanta/filters/SearchEngineFriendlyURLFilter.java

-G

[Raymond Camden]

No go. I even tried adding default:

<Context docBase="/Users/raymondcamden/Dropbox/websites/testingzone"
resourceOnlyServlets="LuceeServlet,CFMLServlet,default">

(As an aside, docBase does nothing either, but one problem at a time. ;)

[Joseph Gooch]

I don't think docBase is honored in conf/context.xml.  (otherwise all your web contexts would have the same directory)

Copy conf/context.xml to conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml

I bet it'll magically work then.

Ah, that fixed docBase. Thank you! I still can't browse directories though. :)

And that fixed it. But to be clear, that 'feels' wrong to me. What I
mean is, given a request to /, I'd want Lucee to load
index.cfm/index.html *if it exists*, and if not, show a listing. Does
this change break that?

Yes this change will always list directories, even if index.cfm exists. Which is fine for me in development.
Unfortunately I am not aware of a more "intelligent" solution which only lists directories if the defined "welcome-file" is not found.

Having to remove it from welcome-files is the behavior that resourceOnlyServlets *should* fix....

Here's my context.xml (copied to ROOT.xml) and web.xml for comparison

I'm testing with a directory that doesn't have an index.cfm or index.lucee. (or index.anything)

I also have the Search Friendly URLs filter in there to preserve that behavior.

For now - I'm happy - I got my doc root changed and directory listings
on. I'd like it to auto load index.cfm too (when it exists), but I can
live without it. This is just for my laptop, not production.

Thank you to everyone. :)

[Joseph Gooch]

So to summarize what I've seen for posterity :)

Options are:

1) Set listings=true in the defaultservlet. Remove index.cfm (and index.lucee) from welcome-files.   This gives directory listings, but doesn't auto-load index.cfm files.  index.cfm/anypath type links should still work.

2) Set listings=true in the defaultservlet. set resourceOnlyServlets to LuceeServlet,CFMLServlet.  Implement another solution for SES urls - tuckey's urlrewrite or OpenBD's SES filter or something else.

3) Write your own directory listing support via onMissingMethod in Application.cfc

Arguably, this should probably be easier out of the box with Lucee Express :) I'll submit a JIRA.  It might be worth including the tuckey urlrewrite filter in lucee express as it has other benefits/potential use cases.

[Harry Klein]

Thanks Joseph, I never heard about „resourceOnlyServlets“.

I tried approach 2) but it didn’t work for me – is the SearchEngineFriendlyURLFilter required?

 

The only changes I did:

resourceOnlyServlets="CFMLServlet" (I deactivated the Lucee servlet)

and

uncomment the welcome-files.

Interesting, it didn't seem to work for Raymond either. You did the resourceOnlyServlets in conf/context.xml (or conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml)?

Not sure why it's working for me.  Is there something else different in my files vs yours?

SearchEngineFriendlyURLFilter is only necessary for SES urls. (i.e. /index.cfm/this/is/a/website)  Because no file named website in a path called /index.cfm/this/is/a/ exists.  (so resourceOnlyServlets will prevent the mapping from being issued against CFMLServlet)

The filter internally rewrites the above request as /index.cfm with a PATH_INFO of /this/is/a/website before mappings occur.

I added resourceOnlyServlets in „conf/context.xml“ – is this the right place?
