Apache Question

[Néstor]

Hi guys, I  know that my question is not about PHP but I am sure that you guys know the answer.

I have my httpd.conf file set up a follows:
--------------------------
<Directory "/home/www/sdcwa/public_html">

# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    Options FollowSymLinks -Indexes
#
    AllowOverride None
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
--------------------

When I got to "http://www.mypage.com/hr/" If there is no index.html file it get
-------------

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /hr/ on this server.

-----------------------------

The scary part is that when I type  "file:///www.mypage.com/hr/" it gives me a listing

Is this normal?

How do I stop the Directory from listing?

Thanks

So when your protocol changes from HTTP to FILE, even remotely, you get a directory listing instead of a prohibited?

YES!!

Well, I just notice that I made a mistake
Because I know where my DocumentRootDirectoy is locate I can type
file:///home/www/sdcwa/public_html/

Wait a minute
Is it because I am physically on the server that it shows the directory listing
even when I type "file:///"

I might had scared myself falsely.

Am I correct that when you are on the server and via the browser you type file:///
it will give you a directory listing?

Generally speaking that is the case. If you are on the server and reference a FILE url, as long as your user has read permission, you will be granted permission to view that directory.

Robert,

thanks a lot, I had a long night and all of a sudden I come to work and I see demons
where they are none.

Thanks again,

Nestor :-)
