Hi,

I have a simple question, How do you turn the directory index off so people can't browse the directories with not index page!?

If I'm not misstaking it´s either in httpd.conf or .htaccess you do this. But what do you type?

Thanks,
Saeed

Hi,

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
For individual account:
make an .htaccess file and type

Options -Indexes

Upload that file into public html dir and chmod 644

They other way,
Find comment:

Options Includes ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

and change it become:

Options Includes ExecCGI -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

then re-start the Apache

Hope this correct :D
Thx.

I'm hosting on a Cobalt RaQ, and I attepted the .htaccess method, without luck. Is there any other parameters that should be included in the .htaccess file, such as </directory> ...etc?

Would I need to contact my SysAdmin for extra help?

I want surfers trying to peek into my weblogs to receive a 403 Forbidden message. Currently I have a blank HTML page in place.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,

Check with your webhost provider. Its possible to disallow the use of .htaccess files, or to require them to be named something else.

Ryan: Where are you putting the .htaccess file? If you put it in /home/sites it should cover the entire server, except for directories that have their own .htaccess files. I don't know what kind of RaQ you have, but on a RaQ 4 if you install the FrontPage extensions it adds its own .htaccess file to the directory; you need to go in and modify the file to turn off directory listings (be careful... and be sure to back up).
