    Question CentOS - Apache doesn't notice .htaccess files

    Hello.

    This is like a security breach waiting to happen. You see, I have .htaccess files in every directory I want to protect from prying eyes. However, when I go to look at that directory, it lists the directory, and doesn't give me a forbidden error.

    I mean, it's giving me:
    Index of craps/
    -list of files-
    ...instead of a 403 Forbidden Error.

    Maybe there was some config option that I forgot to change? Any light shed onto this issue would be helpful.

    Thanks,
    Coburn64

    You may use the following line in your .htaccess file to prevent directory listing

    Options -Indexes

    What are the contents of the .htaccess files you have in those directories?
