directory structure

i have hosting on a company running apache

I wanna know is it possible to stop people from viewing the directory
structure when they enter the domain name

domain.com/

i have no index page in the directory and it shows the directory structure,
i basically want it to show a normally OS generated 404 page, how can i do
this?

not sure if this is the right place, if not can anyone please give me a
group that might have the info i desire

Thanks

Christo

Add an .htaccess in the root folder for that domain and add this line in
ot.

Has a good tutorial, although focusing on customized international
server error responses, but should give you a good starting point.

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2...avidsklar.html
Offers another tutorial, if you use PHP.

Offers the same with the use of .htaccess.

Good luck.
