Directory access

Hello,

I want to disable directory browsing by clients. I've found that I have to
put this into httpd.conf to achieve it:

<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
</Directory>

I did it, but it's still possible to access directories with webbrowser.
What should I do? I use Apache 2.2.3.

Thank you,
Matis

Did you tell Apache to reload its configuration after you made the changes?

In the root folder, add a .htaccess file. Somewhere, there should be a
line that reads Options All -Indexes
This will prevent all directory browsing from the folder it's in forwards.

Yes, I did.

It didn't help. I deleted "AllowOverride None" from httpd.conf, but it still
doesn't work.

Find all the directories that you have been setting, you may allow the
indexes or all in the Options section.

OK, I solved the problem by specifying directories which I wanted to be
restricted from public browsing.
