Hi,

I noticed that Google have index a page of mine but with Index of Content (www.domainname.com/content/1.photos) instead of www.domainname.com/photos. Is there anyway that when people check the Index of Content it will redirect to the proper page?

sorry i can't post the exact link or page. i can PM it to you if you like.

And does that page actually work? It definitely should not, in which case it should not get indexed either. Also, normally, this would have to be linked from somewhere for Google to find it ... Google works in mysterious ways though.

For example, if you try to link the physical path of a folder, you should get "forbidden", not something that Google indexes:
https://mjau-mjau.com/content/2.blog/3.preload-website/
(from https://mjau-mjau.com/blog/preload-website/)

If you have a link PM, yes it would be interesting to check.

For redirect, since the page gets intercepted to "forbidden" by server, as it should, we cannot redirect it from the X3 script. You can redirect with the .htaccess file, but I won't try to make a common rule for something that should be happen.

You could do something like this:

here... i can see index.
http://sherwintan.com/content/private/Kinder-G/
if you try to search sherwintan + Kinder-G this will show up

i didnt change anything in  .htaccess file

Your HOST should have directory listing disabled by default. We can't do this from the X3 application.

You can fix this by adding the following line to your .htaccess file:

We try to minimize the amount of subjective rules in the .htaccess file, but admittedly, this rule should perhaps be active by default, to make sure folder content is not listed.
