Newly created account to display default cgi web page

[phicts]

How do I make the default web page of a newly created account to display the defaultwebpage.cgi instead of a directory like this below,

Index of /~username

• Parent Directory
• cgi-bin/

I see the defaultwebpage.cgi contents only if i click the "parent directory" link but in my reseller account in another hosting company, the cgi page displays automatically. That's what i want -there should be no "parent directory" link.

I made some changes in my php and other settings but i failed to properly document the changes i applied.
What i am sure of is i am using suPHP and Centos 6.3 64-bit.

Thanks in advance.

I think what you really want is this:

Skeleton Directory — The skeleton directory exists to let you easily copy the same files into every new account’s public_html and public_ftp directories when the account is created.

You mean, when an account is created you want your own index.html put in their /public_html/ directory?
If so, Yes it is create the HTML files and put them under /root/cpanel3-skel and when a new cPanel account is created, those files will be placed under the customers /public_html/ directory. If you do not have root (such as if you're a reseller) then there should be a /cpanel3-skel/ directory under your primary reseller account.

Thanks for the answers.

I do have root access though my vps is self-managed. All i want to is for the newly created account to automatically display the fresh default cgi page until the account user begins using/uploading files to it.

Currently if i create a new account and I go to that domain, I will see a directory listing, not the default cgi page. I still have to click "parent directory" before the default cgi page will be displayed.

So again, how can i remove that directory listing and instead automatically display the fresh default cgi page. Thanks again.
