[users@httpd] question about turning off indexing

I am having trouble getting apache 1.3.27 to turn off
the indexing feature. I added the line 

<Directory/>
Options -Indexes
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

I added the option of 

IndexIgnore .. *
and that will work OK but I want to turn it off all
togather. 

What am I missing here???

Thanx

CJ

The problem here is almost certainly that the directories /public and
/cgi-bin don't exist.  <Directory> sections point to FILE-SYSTEM
directories, not webpaths.  So you probably need something more like

<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/public>
Options -Indexes
</Directory>

OK As I previously stated I tried the following:
For each directory I have listed in the httpd.conf
file I added a line that says 
<Directory />
Options -Indexing 
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
#
<Directory /public>
Options -Indexes
</Directory>
#
<Directory /cgi-bin>
Options -Indexes
</Directory>

etc...
If I substute the Options line for
IndexIdnore .. * 
I do not see the files but I can still attempt to get
a dir listing. I do not want that. 

Does this explain it better?

The answer in the FAQ is perfectly correct.  Saying "I tried that as well"
doesn't tell us exactly what you did, but you must not have done it
correctly.

Yes I tried that as well and it still does not work. I
can still get a dir index.
