Apache server trouble

[Anon]

hi,

i ha a large site with allt of subdirectories and mysql databases basically i'm trying to do the following i have a page called www.myhost.com/links/sites.php but if a visitors types in www.myhost.com/links he will get a directorylisting i want to disable that because there is a php file to delete links from the list and i don't want everybody to have that power he :-) i tryed it like this in httpd.conf

<Directory /links>
Deny from all
</Directoy>
but this disables the whole acces people must still be able to view the file "sites.php" the only thing i don't want is that idiot directorylistings how do i do this ??

thanks..

Nico,

you'll have to remove the "All" resp. "Indexes" option. You'll find this in the "Options" setting for your /links directory (or the global setting for all directories) in apache's config file.

Restart apache and there you are.
