i want to stop the DirectoryIndex from coming...
like http://somesite.com/dir/ the list of files of default index made by apache... i don't want it ... i asked my server guy to remove the word Diretoryindex from the conf but he said it can be done from .htaccess... now the question is how?

do you know it?

Why not just create a blank index.html file? In a linux prompt, just type:

touch index.html

Options -Indexes

Options Multiviews None

Options -indexes worked thanx guyz
