Options -Indexes causes Error

Postby krb19xx » 06. January 2012 03:54

In httpd.conf I've got DocumentRoot "/Users/xxxxxxxxxxx/Sites" and <Directory "/Users/xxxxxxxxxxx/Sites"> with AllowOverride All in it.

I'm also using a VirtualHost pointing to a directory at /Users/xxxxxxxxxxx/Sites/yyyy

Everything seems to be working OK except that when I put Options -Indexes in my .htaccess file in my yyyy directory I get an Apache server configuration error.

The other Directives in .htaccess seem to be working fine, but I can't get #@%&%@& Options -Indexes to work!

If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!

Could you try
Code: Select all
Options All -indexes
Please let me know if it helps.

Also you should have an error.log file in the Apache tree, perhaps apache\logs see if it has a clue about this issue.

An alternate solution to the Options directive would be to use
Code: Select all
IndexIgnore *


This link has a host of the well known .htaccess tricks:
prevent unauthorized directory browsing

Good luck. :)
