Today I'm happened to disable file and directory browsing on my web server that after my work showed all its content. Shortly, to prohibit that every users can view the content of a directory (if noindex.php/index.html is present) occur a little modifying to configuration file of apache or a new directive in .htaccess.

I'll show you how to do in both cases...

1. httpd.conf / virtual-host

   Edit your virtualhost adding these rows:

   <Directory "/home/httpd/html/mydomain/files">
   Options -Indexes
   </Directory>

2. .htaccess

   Add in the .htaccess file this row:

   Options -Indexes

In the first case is necessary to restart apache server.
