How do you disable directory listing using .HTACCESS?

Put this in the htaccess file:

Options -Indexes

Hope this helps! :)

Thanks, it works perfectly! :)

By the way I'm using RAQ3 and by putting this in .HTACCESS it will pop up this message box "You do not have permission to access the requested file on this server." everytime I try to browse the directory. My question is can it be forwarded to particular page instead?

Sure. Just add this to the htaccess file:

Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /location_of_permission_denied_page.html


That should do the trick! :)

Thanks again. :)

I look up on the net and found that by using this it will enable me to SSI using .htm

AddType text/html .shtml .shtm .htm .html
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .shtm .htm .html

But when I tried I won't work and instead lots of junk charcters is displayed. :confused:

It dind't work because i tried to parse .cgi files.

How do you parse .cgi files?

On Cobalt's to parse CGI's you have to disable the cgiwrapper function. If you create an .htaccess for that particular directory, use the following directive:

AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi

You can use that in httpd.conf to disable it globally as well.
