Truncated names in Apache auto indexing aren’t helpful at all. With people running displays at 5k, there’s little reason to have this as the default behaviour. Alas, it still is and probably will be until the end of time. That said, it’s easy to get around this.

In out-of-the-box Apache install, uncomment the following line:

Include etc/apache24/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf

In that file, look for the following line:

IndexOptions FancyIndexing HTMLTable VersionSort

We want to add the NameWidth option, as so:

IndexOptions FancyIndexing HTMLTable VersionSort NameWidth=*
