I would like to know how to prevent directory listings in Apache2 on debian7. For example, I am able to view the contents of a folder called “test.php” that created inside /var/www. I don’t want visitors to be able to view the contents of directories.
For the apache2.conf file , I have changed the
<Directory “/var/www”> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst IgnoreCase VersionSort NameWidth=* </Directory>
into
<Directory “/var/www”> Options FollowSymLinks </Directory>
and set <Directory /var/www/test> Options -Indexes </Directory>
It is no use to restart my apache2 ,the test.php file in the /var/www still be viewed by others when to input my vps_ip in firefox .

it’s worked for me thank you there is more option to do same thing using .htaccess file
- Open the .htaccess file with using this command.
vim /var/www/html/.htaccess
you need to add the line:-
Options -Indexes
it works fine ,think you.
I am not sure naming a folder with a .php extension is such a good idea, but to answer your question:
