Remove any "index." files or any other files that meet your defined DirectoryIndex definitions.

Folders that do not have an index.htm, index.html, index.php (etc.) will show their folder contents much like an FTP server would.

Depending on the configuration of higher level directories, you might need to add an .htaccess file that contains at least:

Options +Indexes

and in the directory container, you might need:

AllowOverride Indexes

Here is the sample configuration:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "This is a Private Network Please Enter Your Password"
AuthUserFile /var/

http://www/.htaccess

Require user john robert

And to create .htacess you need to run:

$htpasswd -c [file_name] [user_name]

In this case it should be look like this:

$htpasswd -c .htaccess john

$htpasswd -c .htaccess robert


Hope It Helps;
