Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : hidden directories 403 Forbidden

[Weevox]

I recently moved to another host. It shows all the files in the directory example http://www.weevox.com/archive
I modified the .htaccess file in the images directory and add IndexIgnore * but it still shows the index of /images only the files are now hidden - http://www.weevox.com/images/ What I want to happen is to direct it to 403 Forbidden page . ex. http://www.actsupport.com/images/

Your help will be very much appreciated!

Thank you for your time

find sth like the following in httpd.conf
<Directory /XX/XXX>
AllowOverride All
Options MultiViews Indexes ......

> delete "Indexes"

[Weevox]

Where can i find the httpd.conf?

[hehachris]

login as root, type
locate httpd.conf

[Weevox]

Sorry It's really chinese to me. Can you make a step by step instruction? How do you mean login as root? Where do I login?

[hehachris]

1, login as root by ssh
2, type a command: locate httpd.conf
3, then u can find where is it located
4, type "vi xxx/xxx/httpd.conf" and follow the step i mentioned in the first reply

*shudders at the echo of 'vi'*

get joe:

wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/s...joe-3.1.tar.gz

tar -xvf joe-3.1.tar.gz
cp joe-3.1
./configure
make
make install

now, you can just type "joe xxx/xxx/httpd.conf" =D
