Apache Configuration

reptonite

Hi there

I wish to disable the ability of the user to use a browser as an explorer device (i.e. 'hide' my directory structure).

I have been advised to comment out....

#LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so

....but I am using the latest version of Xampp, so this was already commented out in favour of....

LoadModule autoindex_color_module modules/mod_autoindex_color.so

Commenting that out however, kills Apache completely.

Any suggestions?

Could you not just use a .htaccess file? o_O

You find the default directory configuration container and use
"Options -indexes" instead of "Options indexes"

This place knocks spots off all other BB's. There is absolutely no reason to go anywhere else.

Seamus? One can of Murphy's to you (I am in Cork after all)

And in payment for the help, send anyone with a question regarding hosting for free on the eircom setup my way. I am now god as far as the topic is concerned, thanks to you guys. And thanks to DynDNS for the domain "ucc.kicks-ass.net"

Cheers again.

Like the others have mentioned, you could simply add the following line to your .htaccess file:

IndexIgnore */*

cheers cianuro, but am sorted now. I suppose the .htaccess route is the one you go for especially if you're looking to give selective access, but to be honest I just wanted the entire site locked down, and Options -indexing did it.

Let's face it, we're all in one of the last remaining fields where you are an expert in something only once you've solved the problem.....whoops, getting philosophical now that the the app is delivered......:p

Ahhhh... Didn't even see your reply! Sorry about that.
Glad your problem is solved now.

Never apologise for helping, with most other boards it's the other way round!
