[BlueOnyx:07881] Re: How to disable directory listing

[Richard Morgan]

Hi Mark

I agree with the other suggestions... even a zero sized index.html will prevent browsing.  You may want to look at .htaccess - a Google search for 'htaccess options indexes' will point you in the right direction, but there are redirect options that can point the user back to something meaningful.

  Or a blank index.html

  I have a site that does not have an index.html in the root. It's intended to be referred from another web site that specifies the file. However, when the URL is entered without the file name, a listing of the contents of the directory is returned. Other than creating an index.html, is there any way to disable the directory listing?

   

  Thanks,

  -Mark

   

  You can disable  directory browsing, but it'll just return a generic no access or not permitted error. My thoughts are better off writing a simple index.html stating "no filename specified, please confirm your request and remember file names are case sensitive" or something along those lines. Could save you a lot of support phone calls.
