turn of indexes -contd from php forum

[dessie1981]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how to turn off the index of files listing.
When a user goes to my url and puts in the directory name where my php/html files are they are all listed.

Is there a way of turning this off??

Regards
Dessie

that's a web server thing, not php. assuming apache upload a file called ".htaccess" with the following
CODE
Options -Indexes

in IIS the option is in the management snap-in under the Home Directory tab

Thank jpadie

Hi Jpadie,

I have created the .htaccess file and added that one line and restarted httpd and the indexes are still showing up in the dir.

I'm using apache btw.

Does this file need to be owned by apache or have certin privleges??

I think that since this thread is not discussing PHP, this thread needs to take place in another forum. Like the Apache forum: forum65
