[users@httpd] Turning of indexing
I am a recent convert to the APACHE way of life. The gui of M$ is nice but
secrity was problem. now i am unsure how to do alot of simple things --for
example i need to turn off indexing of the folders so the user either gets a
forbidden message or a not found response. So they are not able to see the
who structure of my folders.
so how you do turn of indexing?

Don't forget to look in the Apache docs! A lot of effort has gone into good
documentation, so try to use it. Especially if you want a secure
installation, since it contains some good points in this area.
Kind Regards and good luck,

Look for a line in your configuration file that starts with "Options" Remove
"Indexes" from that line.

If you have in your conf file anything that looks like: Options Indexes,
change to:
Options -Indexes, when removing the word Indexes, you don't allow but you do
not permit, by doing (-) you deny Indexes command.
All the best,

I don't know how much you know, but:
vim /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf
hit ESC then "i" to start editing.
To save: ESC, :, w
Exit: ESC, : , q
A couple editing tips (this is from console). If running from KDE or Gnome,
use gedit. Don't forget to restart apache (apachectl
start|stop|restart|graceful)
These tips may seem small, but they can be really helpful if you are a
newbie (which all of us were at one point).
