need apache / htaccess help
 

ok, we switched hosts and for some reason the default setting on the new server allows people to see files within a directory if there's no 'index.html' file, the previous server did a 'permission denied' if there were no index file, anybody know how to configure the server so prevents people from seeing directory's files? thanks!

I believe you would use

"Options -Indexes"

in the httpd.conf

<Directory "">
Options -Indexes
</Directory>

damn we replied at same time :p

great - thanks!
