Message:

I'm trying to ensure that every directory on my server redirects users to index.php instead of letting users view my directory as below screenshot

I tried to use .htaccess to do this instead of having to create index.php on every directory but it didn't work, below is what .htaccess looks like:

ErrorDocument 404 "<H1>Page Not Found!</H1>"



# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

# Set the “ea-php73” package as the default “PHP” programming language.

<IfModule mime_module>

  AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php73 .php .php7 .phtml

</IfModule>

# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

#Alternate default index page

DirectoryIndex index.php

Can anyone help with how to solve this?

My Answer:
You can achieve this by using the following code in your .htaccess file:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [L]


This code will check if the requested URL is a directory (-d) and if it is, it will redirect the user to index.php. Make sure to place this code in the root directory of your server.
