Disabe Directory Listing

[niran 0]

Hi all,How can I disable directory listing?That means, if there is no default page for that directory,that should display access denied page!How can I configure that using cPanel?

This is really easy.. I don't know if you can do it in CPanel, but you just need to create a htaccess file in the directory you wish to not list the files with this code:

# This will not show anythingIndexIgnore *#This will not show gif and png images, but will list everything elseIndexIgnore *.gif *.png

Hope that is what you wanted.

I guess you should make a copy of this file and drop into every directory...cos if there is a page there it will see it..if not it display an error403 right?

after putting that .htaccess file in the directory "files"

Its showing like this

 

But what I need to show something like 403 Error page like this

( here simply copied 403.shtml file to the directory and renamed it as index.html )

 

I dont want to display 403 error by copying that page in all the directories!

All I need to show one 403 error page If there is no default page in the directory!

( My previous hosting server automatically disables the directory listing and will show the 403.shtml page if there is no default page to display! )

 

I need to do like that! Is there any other method my dear friends!

Remember the custom error page thread?go back to it and follow what I did...I think this is the answer;)

Remember the custom error page thread?

My thread ? Yes, I remember it. And, yes, looks exactly what Niran wants to do. And, yes, the explanations were so clear that I will try using them to do my own 403, 404 error pages as soon as I will leave today !

Silly suggestion, maybe, but add an index.html. Maybe even an index.php with a re-direct to the 403 page?

Wow, so much disucussion about such a simple thing:goto cPanel > Index Manager This will give a error 403 Forbidden if there isn't an index.*** available.The other option is to just put an index.html/php/asp/ext in each directory with no data in it. This will display a blank page if the directory is acessed without a page specified.Hope This Helps. :)vujsa
