I've installed Apache on a Windows 2019 test server and have everything working, however I'm unable to disable the directory browsing.
In my httpd.conf, I've tried the following:
| Code: |
<Directory />
Options -Indexes
</Directory>
|
| Code: |
<Directory />
Options None
</Directory>
|
Neither of the above have worked, and removing/renaming the index.html in the root web folder results in Apache displaying the contents of that directory.
Interestingly enough, if I allow overrides and put a .htaccess file in the root directory with a Options -Indexes statement it *also* still displays the directory content, but will put an entry in the error.log saying that access was denied due to the .htaccess file in that folder (even though it wasn't).
Is there another step I'm missing in turning this off in a Windows environment? |

| You need to set that in Directory for your web root, too. |

I think that's the only place I have it. I thought that's what <Directory /> was (the root).
Currently all I have is a few files in the webroot.
**EDIT**
Aha, I've got it. I was *only* doing it in the webroot. I see further down is the option for the actual htdocs folder (which I erroneously thought was the same as /).
I removed the Indexes reference from there and all is well. Thanks! |
