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.
