Or remove read permissions for the directory in question. Or create your own local overrides with an .htaccess file. The answer really depends on the purpose of the system and if your changes should be global. I realize you're setting up this server but it's good to have a picture of how global changes affect other users, if there are any, and that sometimes a local change might be more appropriate. As joe user I would just change the directory permissions to remove read access. Or if .htaccess overrides are enabled, then do my thing there. As an admin of a fresh server I'd set the global to disable listings and allow users to override on a per directory basis. Anyway, there are quite a few good books on Apache. I recommend you browse a local computer book store and find one you like. Apache is a complex animal and you'll learn lots from 2" of experience. And so people don't complain about me suggesting books without listing one... :) Professional Apache, by Peter Wainwright. Pub. Wrox Press.
