How to disable directory view on a web server?

[blurredvision]

A friend was wanting to deny users to be able to view the directories of folders with no index file on his domain. I think I remember reading somewhere at some point that you could do this.

Can anyone help me with this?

If everybody googled everything, this forum would have half the traffic it does now. Some of us prefer the response of a real person instead of a machine.

.htaccess file will do.

 

[Joemonkey]

Just put a blank index.htm file in each directory

 

[jjones]

Assuming he's on apache, put this into an .htaccess file in the root directory:

Options All -Indexes

take the hdd out, smash it on the floor, I bet no one will be able to directory view anymore....:laugh:

but before you do that, link the website so that we can all take a look

like tekboi sez, need OS/webserver type info.

.htaccess will only work if you allow overrides in the directory as defined in either the apache.conf file or in the default sites-enabled file for your domain.
Example:

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
*AllowOverride All*
Order allow,deny
allow from all
You can .htaccess all you want, but if the line I commented says
AllowOverride none

the .htaccess override won't work.
