Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello,
I've been using XAMPP for sometimes on Ubuntu 8.04 server
what I noticed is that if I put a partial URL then I get the directory listing of the previous directory which I think is a security problem.
I tried to search for Apache but all refer to an Apache2.conf which I think the XAMMP does't use.
Can you please let me know how to stop this from happening.
thank you in advance for your reply

If you installed Xampp and use Xampp, the configuration of Apache takes place in /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf

You should look for the "Options Indexes" which causes directory listings.

thank you

I had to add the - in front of Indexes and it has worked
this is good
so I have
Option Indexes FllowSymLinks etc etc
and I changed it for
Option -Indexes FllowSymLinks etc etc
)
that was easy
thank you all
