Newbie security question

[la...@socgen.com]

Hi guys,

I have a very simple problem: how can I prevent Tomcat from displaying a
directory listing ? My servlets are installed in webapps/app directory and
asking for the URL http://localhost:8080/app/ just displays the content of the
directory, which I obviously do not want.


Thanks for your answer

This is the default behavior for apache web server. If there is no Directory
Index page found it will display the page that you are seeing.  Either place
a default index.html page in the directory or modify the apache conf file to
route to the page that you desire. You can have many pages listed separated
by a space.

eg:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.jsp index.php yourdesiredpage.whatever

Apache will choose the first one it encounters so add yours to the end. This
only takes effect if  after you restart apache  .../usr/sbin/apachectl
restart

Regards,
Craig
