Only let vhosts to browse their DocumentRoot and subdirectories.

Hi,

Recently one of my site got hacked and they uploaded lots of crap to it 

that let them browse through the entire server with a php-script that 

let them do all sorts of things.

I'm not an expert on Apache so thats why I'm asking you for help.

I want to know if/how I can let a certain vhost only to browse the 

content of their folder.

So for example I have this vhost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/test
ServerName www.test.com
ServerAlias test.com
TransferLog /var/log/apache2/test.log
</VirtualHost>

Right now they can make a file-browser in PHP and go to 

/var/www/othersite, browse /etc and by the looks of it the entire server..

How do I "block" them from browsing the parent directories of there 

DocumentRoot?

Thanks,
-Patric
