How to Fix a cPanel Website That Shows a Directory Listing

11/10/2026

A directory listing may appear when the expected index file is absent, misnamed, or not recognized by server configuration.

Checks to make

Confirm the document root and deployed index file, check filename case and permissions, and review directory index settings and rewrite rules. Disable listing through the appropriate configuration only after confirming the application entry point.
