Author Directory access

Hello,

I want to disable directory browsing by clients. I've found that I have to
put this into httpd.conf to achieve it:

<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
</Directory>

I did it, but it's still possible to access directories with webbrowser.
What should I do? I use Apache 2.2.3.

Thank you,
Matis

Did you tell Apache to reload its configuration after you made the changes?

In the root folder, add a .htaccess file. Somewhere, there should be a
line that reads Options All -Indexes
This will prevent all directory browsing from the folder it's in forwards.

It didn't help. I deleted "AllowOverride None" from httpd.conf, but it still
doesn't work.

Find all the directories that you have been setting, you may allow the
indexes or all in the Options section.
