Hello All, I am confused about directory permissions inside of my wwwroot/I am using name-based virtual hosting and I have y web root as /var/ www/htmlAll of my websites are inside /var/www/html in their own directories.How can I i have a directory protected from crawlers indexing it? What is the right permission set?How can I have a directory that apache can use, but nobody can browse to?The reason is that I have PHP/MySQL Setup and I store all of my MySQL connection information and queries in a directory and I dont want people 'finding' this by simple browsing the website or using a web grabber to take a copy of the whole site.Can anyone provide insight?
To prevent a directory from being served by the webserver, do this: <Directory /path/to/directory> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Directory> Put this block in your <VirtualHost> block.
