Restart Apache for htaccess ???

I want to enable directory listing of "dir_test" (drwxr-xr-x 2 rchin
other 512 Nov 22 12:27 dir_test/)
so I added a .htaccess file in "dir_test"
-rw-r--r-- 1 ihb other 0 Nov 22 12:21 .htaccess

content of .htaccess is just this line "Options Indexes"

It is not working, does Apache need to be bounced ?

thanks

NO

It need to be configured to allow the use of .htaccess for this type of
task:
Check you config for the appropriate AllowOverride directive.
