The Correct way to do this in apache's config file is:

Options -Indexes

Looks like this in the container:
[note, this is not from a RaQ, so YMMV on the other settings]

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx
    ServerAlias laiben.com www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/www/www.example.com
    <Directory /var/www/www/www.example.com>
        Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Options +Includes
    TransferLog /var/www/www/www.example.com/statistics/access_log.current
</VirtualHost>
