APACHE - Disable directory browsing

• otoworkz
  • upload
    • images
    • sound

Let say we have a directory structure like above, and we want to block any direct access to the upload folder the child folder (images, sound). So how? follow these instruction:

1. Create .htaccess file with the following content:
   Options -Indexes
2. Put it under upload folder.
3. Change file permission to 755:
   sudo chmod 755 .htaccess
4.  Restart the Apache and done!

* if still not work, try to enable mod_rewrite module on Apache httpd.conf file.
