It is an argument to the "Options" directive: Options -Indexeswill switch off directory indexing (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options for details).
BTW, 1.3 and 2 have the same default (allow indexing) so I don't know why you get different behaviour - your configs must differ (or there are additional directives in a .htaccess file).Rgds, Owen Boyle
Owen: Thanks so much! That was the knob I was looking for.Sorry I didn't look at the "Options" page even though the config file says "important."
It's usually something simple overlooked. BTW: Both my apache-1.3 and 2 have this config line: Options Indexes FollowSymLinksSo, dunno why 1.3x is denying any listing of directories and that through me off that trail.
Once I added the minus to -Indexes - Voila! Best of regards to you, Jack _________________________________________________________________Is your PC infected? Get a FREE online computer virus scan from McAfee® Security. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
