[users at httpd] apache displaying the directory contents...

[bruce]

hi...

what you describe is what i also believed.. however, when i actually have
the 'Options -Indexes" in the '<Directory' block, i still get the index...

i'm running apache2.x i get the same behavior regardless of if the
Options -Indexes is commented/uncommented...

thanks.

bruce

with apache 2.x the "-Indexes" item on the "Options" set for the
appropriate documentroot will turn off directory browsing.

with apache 1.x the "-Indexes" option may work, but it's possible that
the "-" flag isn't supported in that release. simply removing the
"Indexes" item from the "Options" set works in both 1.x and 2.x, and is
probably simpler.

obviously you have to restart httpd after you've made that change to the
httpd.conf.
