How can I avoid public access to any subfolder?

**Pere** · 11-17-2002 05:24 PM

I mean, if under my index.html I have subfold1, I would like that anybody going to www.mydomain.com/subfold1/ instead of watching my tree folders was having some blank page, error message or so.

Thank you!

Thank you thaphantom.

But I think there should be a way to avoid the authomatic display of the folders tree, isn't it?

In that case we would probably be able to manage the error log with the tools provided by CPanel.

Any chance to get this?

Thanks again!

From the WHM News:

Index Manager cPanel now has an index manager that allow you to turn directory indexes on and off per directory.
(5.2.0 build 72 or later only)

You can also do this by using a custom .htaccess file in any directory you like.

You will find this option under &Index Manager& in the bluelagoon theme.

Thank you, Damian.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

I appreciate very much your help.

By the way, Damian.

You say...

How can this be done?

Tks again,

create an .htaccess file and append this line to it:

Options -indexes

Hello,

Jumping in late here... does anyone happen to know how to turn off indexing for the intire server?

Is there a option on apache or something?

Thanks, Charles

Easiest way is to put the .htaccess in /home and in /usr/local/apache/htdocs with the Options -indexes in it and all is done.

Were is this index manager located. Im using vertex as a default page.

If you're using the vertex theme you may be out of luck. I don't think that theme has been updated for a while.

How about placing it in httpd.conf?
That should make it server wide without needing htaccess files all over the server
