add forbidden page [moved]

[Scott45]

I'd like to add a forbidden page to my websites. This way if someone tries to access something (like an images directory) a page would come up saying forbidden. Anyone know how to do this?

To stop indexing your files you can create a .htaccess file and add the below code:

Options -Indexes

Now, for your customized 404 page. You can do it from cPanel > ErrorPages.

I'm kind of a newby so I apologize.
I'm not sure how to create the .htaccess you mentioned.

You will have to create a .htaccess file in the public_html folder. You can find a tutorial for .htaccess at the following URL http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/1

Best luck
