There are two ways to accomplish what you are asking. The quickest way, without any modfication to httpd.conf, is to place an empty index.html or other default index page into that directory. This will prevent the directory listing from showing up. The other method, is to change httpd.conf to disallow indexing on all directories for the docroot on down. To do this, "-Indexes" needs to be added to the <directory></directory> directives for the docroot, although this may be one of the many configuration directives which have changed between v1.3, v2.0, and v2.1 -- see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/ for more specific information on guidance on how to accomplish this. -- Michael Viron President & CEO General Education Online -----Original Message----- From: babu [mailto:garavindbabu@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, August 06, 2005 2:38 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: sorry for asking here,a small apache query Hi all, I am sorry for asking in php forum.i am subscribed to php and not to apache.but i hope many people in this group also the solution to this query. how can i configure apache so that users are forbidden to see my docroot file structure. for example i have a file at http://localhost/dir1/xyz.html , if the user try to access http://localhost, or http://localhost/dir1 he shud get a message forbidden.
