Indexes Options not workig 2.2

I can't remove directory listings My document root is /var/ww

If I put the site in /var/www/site
and in apache2.conf
<Directory "/var/www/site">
Options -Indexes
</Options>
I don't get a directory listing (403, forbidden).

But if I put the site in /var/www (this is what I want) and in
apache2.conf
<Directory "/var/www">
Options -Indexes
</Options>
I do get a directory listing.
I've tried to comment out all Indexes stuff but nothing helps.
I've removed (a long time ago) the 'redirect' to 'public_html'.

Any ideas?

Missing third 'w' must be a typo ...

You might be bitten by a browser cache ...
Try 'GET -Sued http:/yyy/'

As restarting mismatches my impatience, just stop and start it one more
time.

In every test I've wiped the browser cache and rebooted the computer
where apache runs. The difference remains.

The </Options> should be </Directory> in both cases.

Any ideas?

Maybe this i's important:

When the listing apears, it shows: Index of /
files.....

So not Index of /var/www

For testing purposes I've put all permissions of files and
directory's to 0777.

The version of Apache is 2.2.3 and it runs on Debian.

That makes the missing third 'w' in
"My document root is /var/ww" a typo.

/etc/init.d/apache restart;
or
/etc/init.d/apache stop; sleep 5; /etc/init.d/apache stop
should do fine.

Assuming you requested the http:/yyy/ it SHOULD indeed show you the root of
the site withour revealing its local path.
Does the list show as aspected the files and folders at /var/www ?

On Debian the config is shattered into multiple files scattered across
multiple folders -it really does have logic-:
/etc/apache2
conf.d
mods-available
mods-enabled (holding symlinks to mods-available)
sites-available
sites-enabled (holding symlinks to sites-available)

Many options set in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf can and will be overruled
*per*site* by /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*.
Did you put some files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ or modified the 'one
and only' default?

By now I start wondering WHY do you intend to change this?
