I just installed XAMPP on my personal CentOS box and when I try to disable Directory Listing
I get an Apache error when restarting. My httpd.conf
file looks like this after I make the changes:
httpd.conf
Alias /bitnami/ "/opt/lampp/apache2/htdocs/"
Alias /bitnami "/opt/lampp/apache2/htdocs"
<Directory "/opt/lampp/apache2/htdocs">
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Error
XAMPP: Starting Apache...fail.
AH00526: Syntax error on line 5 of /opt/lampp/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Either all Options must start with + or -, or no Option may.
I have tried removing Indexes all together and I can still see my directories. Maybe I'm in the wrong file, but from what I've read disabling directory listing has to be made here or .htacces (which I am trying to avoid.) In case it comes up I have made sure to restart XAMPP every time I made changes.
The error message is pretty clear. To rephrase / show examples:
# relative to whatever lower precedence section applies
Options -Indexes
If your goal is to turn off indexes. If you want to make sure FollowSymlinks is also set, put a + in front of it:
# relative to whatever lower precedence section applies
Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks
If you want to turn everything but FollowSymlinks off:
# not relative
Options FollowSymlinks
Please go to file: /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf and either comment the line like this:
#Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
or edit like this
Options -Index
For Windows machine: Do same editing in file /apache/conf/httpd.conf
