How to Disable Directory Listing in Apache Webserver



Environment: Apache Webserver


Solution :

-       In the absence of index file by default apache server will list the default content root directories
-       We can turn off the directory listing by using Options directive in the httpd.conf or apache2.conf configuration file for any specific directory

1.       Open the Httpd.conf or apache2.conf file
Options –Indexes

2.       Restart the server
3.       Go to website and access for the content root -/var/www/html or /content
4.       You must see the Forbiden error(You don’t have permission to access/ on this sever.
