Directory Browsing

Say that you do not have an index.html or other specified index file, do you want visitors to be able to view all of the files in a web directory from their web browser or do you want them to see a 401 forbidden error?

1. Log in to the cPanel.
2. Look for the Advanced section, then click on Indexes.

The Advanced section of the Hostgator Control Panel (not the File Manager) is at the very bottom.

Problems / Troubleshooting

not getting the option to change webmail application after webmail login

This guide is crap and is totally wrong: https://www.hostgator.com/help/article/how-can-i-set-up-webmail-to-go-directly-to-horde-or-roundcube

Goto CPanel -> Filemanger -> then navigate to "/home2/youraccountname/.cpanel/nvdata

The plain text webmail interface preferences are in the nvdata subfolder. Manually edit the plain text file associated with the email user account. It will be a file that ends with "_default_webmail_app"

"Go to /.cpanel/nvdata/user@domain.com_default_webmail_app. There is only the app name in this file, I deleted it and the choose app screen is back."

Not Acceptable! Mod_Security

error

Not Acceptable!

An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.

To resolve you have to use cpanel to modify Remote MySQL and Add Access Host.
