Well, I believe you can use the system-config-httpd GUI to modify that per-virtual host or per directory. > From what I can tell, I am supposed to either supply > empty default index files with no content (index.html) or to add a .htaccess > file in every directory with one both of the following entries: > > 1) Options -Indexes > 2) deny from all Well, that's not what the Apache documentation says... Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#options So, that means you need to add the option in the main body of the server config, a virtual host config, a directory config, or a .htaccess file. By default on Fedora Core the first three are defined in one of the server config files: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/*.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf By default, the httpd.conf supplied with Fedora Core enables the Indexes option in the Directory section for /var/www/html in httpd.conf. Removing it there and would remove it for everything under /var/www/html directory.

I'd suggest reading the Apache documentation. It explains these sorts of details. The .htaccess tutorial might be a good start: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/htaccess.html -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
