To deter directory browsing, I stuck a .htaccess file in the root dir with the following contents:

IndexIgnore *
IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting SuppressDescription SuppressHTMLPreamble SuppressLastModified SuppressSize

Only thing is that this still shows the title "Index of /directory". Is it possible to give a 403 forbidden error instead?

Any ideas are appreciated!

Hi Jason,

Can't you just turn Indexes off?

Options -Indexes

HTH,

If you are on an Apache Server, then all you have to do is use ErrorDocument and DirectoryIndex commands within your .htaccess file.

Example:



Also, another thing you could do is set the ErrorDocument to go back to your homepage rather than formatting individual error pages.

Dahamsta, would that be set up in an .htaccess file?

Yip. See the Apache docs for the Options directive - the minus (-) just pulls the Indexes option out of the parent. If you're doing it in the server config, you'll need to wrap it up in a <Directory> block. And a pretty bow.

Great, I stuck it in the server config and it works perfectly.

Thanks!
