RE: [cobalt-users] How do you turn off directory browsing

["Dee Dreslough" <dee@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm willing to bet this is covered at the documentation section of
Apache.org -- I'm looking there now: http://www.apache.org/docs/

Aha..It is covered! What you need to do under options is turn Indexing Off.
You can see the instructions here:
http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#options

It looks like for the sites you don't want to have directory indexing, you
add this to their .htaccess file to have all the standard features without
the Indexing:

Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks (or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch) Includes (or
IncludesNOEXEC)
(and, if you want multi-language support, there's MultiViews...)

Basically, .htaccess is set to allow all these features along with Indexing
as a default.  So, to get rid of the Indexing add your own Options list in
their .htaccess file with everything except the Indexing.

I hope this makes sense... :)
