Title: How to disable directory listing
Post by: wpmagic70 on May 08, 2016, 07:09:32 AM

Hi all. I installed cwp on my vps but sounds like directory browsing is enabled and i added following code on httpd.conf but it not works at all:
Options -Indexes

I have inserted it in many places even in my domain directory but it not works.
Please help me.
Thanks.

create .htaccess file and add Options -Indexes
or add Options -Indexes in you existing .htaccess file

in root folder of website files (in public_html)

Thank you. I was inserted it in there but seems the file was not changed at that time! this time tried changing that file from cwp root filemanager2 instead of  ftp and that worked.

Also i was inserted it in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf but it was not working there. Why ?
Thanks.

I tried adding .htaccess file to public_html and usr local apache htdocs directories and that did nothing.  But I did edit apache config file to delete indexes form followsymlink line.  And that fixed it.
