How to disable directory listings on Linux hosting.

2*2*2*2*2*

Article

If for security reasons you prefer to have directory listings disabled when a user visits a section of your website without an index page, simply create a new .htaccess file (or update an existing one) containing the following lines: 
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /index.html
This will disable the directory listing resulting in an 403 forbidden error message, which you can then redirect to the page of your choosing.
