[EMAIL PROTECTED] Turning Directory Browsing Off

2006-05-16 Thread Mark McCulligh

Hi Group,

How do you turn Directory Browsing off.  For when a user hits a folder 
without an document index page it doesn't let them browse the websites's 
files.


Thanks,
Mark.

Find the Options directive that applies to that directory and remove
its Indexes option or add Options -Indexes to a Directory
section applying to that directory.

Just double checking, change my directory from:
Directory /www
 Options Indexes FollowSyncLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Order Allow, deny
 Allow from all
/Directory

to:
Directory /www
 Options -Indexes +FollowSyncLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Order Allow, deny
 Allow from all
/Directory

That looks like a garbage config.  Directory refers to file-system
directories, like /usr/local/apache2/htdocs, not web directories.
There is no FollowSyncLinks.  And there is no need to add the +/-.
Just remove the option you don't want (Indexes).  The +/- is only
necessary if you want to merge the options with the options setting
for a parent directory.

What should it look like?  I have a default Directory set to Deny all 
(Install default)

Directory /
 Options FollowSynLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Order deny, allow
 Deny from all
/Directory

I then have my Virtual Host websites in the folder /www and made this 
directory available.

Directory /www
 Options -Indexes FollowSyncLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Order Allow, deny
 Allow from all
/Directory

I then of course have all my VirtualHost Document Root something like 
/www/example_com


I through this was the best way to do it, if not what is the best(or 
better) way.


thanks for your help,
Mark.

There is still no FollowSyncLinks option.  You mean FollowSymLinks.

You do not need the -Indexes part.  If indexes is not present on the
line, then they are turned off (as long as the other options on the
line do not use +/-).

The Directory /www is correct only if /www is a directory off the
root of your filesystem.  In other words, you can get there by going
cd /www at the unix prompt.
