I'm managing my server using ISPConfig. All the sites set up in ISPConfig have no problems denying directory content. If I create a new directory via ftp I will get a 403 Forbidden trying to access it. However the default Apache site /var/www, answering on my servers IP adress on a http request, shows all directory content except for some directories like /clients. If I create a new directory via ftp it will be open for directory listing. I've been setting Options -Indexes in .htaccess files and httpd.conf and indexes are still open. Any ideas what to do? Am I missing something? , MacGoose
You must edit default settings for "default" (directory /var/www/) In the debian, with default installation with no changes in both files, you can use it... if you have another distro or this is not your scenario, just edit manually (add "-" in Options Indexes for Directory /var/www/) sed -i 's/Options Indexes/Options -Indexes/1' /etc/apache2/sites-available/default sed -i 's/Options Indexes/Options -Indexes/1' /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl Regards Edit: I am new to this... if this is not the best way, please post!
