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.
Joshua.
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.
