The server page location option is not working.

Post by Mobility5706 »

I want to set the directory for the HTTP server. I tried to use the server page location option to set the shared root directory, but it didn't work. I can still view and download all the files on my computer in the browser.

The Everything HTTP server will always allow users to search and download indexed files.

You can set the default page from Tools -> Options -> HTTP Server.

Everything will show the default page when the user requests the following URL:

/



Please make sure there's only a / after the host name in the URL.
For example:

http://localhost/

Thank you for your answer. Assuming I am sharing files with others through an HTTP server, but I do not want others to see all the files on my computer. I only want them to see the directory I specify. How should I set it up?

To setup a single folder to share:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Automatically index new fixed volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically index new removable volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically remove offline volumes.
  • For each NTFS volume:
    • Uncheck Include in database.
  • For the folder you wish to share:
  • Select the drive and check Include in database.
  • Set Include only to your folder.
    For example: C:\Media
  • Click OK.
