I'm settings up a file share / torrent / web server box for a project at home. I've currently got Ubuntu server 7.04 running in VPC 2004 with AMP install running torrentflux and phpmyadmin... those work fine
My problem is i've only started looking at this stuff over the last few weeks and have no previous experience to call upon. When I goto my server as http://192.168.0.3/ i get a list of folders and files - this is what am trying to prevent. Now i've tried using a .htaccess and i've tried setting various <Directory> sections in apache2.conf... short of putting a index.htm in there am stumped!! if it makes any difference i've used all the default installs for tha packages so the folder etc are all default. the 'root' folder for my apache is /var/www/ if that helps.. any one suggest anything?? -------------------- Quad Core, Dual Loop Watercooled Mountain Mods Duality -: Asus P5N-E SLI :-: Intel Q6600 @ Stock :-: 2GB OZC CP2-6400 :-: BFG 8800GTX :-: Audigy X-Fi :-  Old Case: Lian-Li V2000 |

Are you trying to do this to stop people browsing directories, or for security ?
If its the former, a blank index.htm file will stop it, if the later, you need to look into htaccess -------------------- ~ Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 ~ Shuttle SP35P2 ~ 8Gb Kingston Ultra Low Profile ~ ATI HD5770 ~ |

cheers for the reply... managed to get it working via webmin
I've used it to manually at a few Directives to prevent all /var/www access but allow torrentflux - works a treat! -------------------- Quad Core, Dual Loop Watercooled Mountain Mods Duality -: Asus P5N-E SLI :-: Intel Q6600 @ Stock :-: 2GB OZC CP2-6400 :-: BFG 8800GTX :-: Audigy X-Fi :- Old Case: Lian-Li V2000 |

A tip now, so you learn.. go ssh on to the box, and see what the webmin did for you, its probably changed the owners of the folders, or permission.

hehe already there mate
 it added the <directory /> sections to the right part of the apache2.conf Turns out I was adding them into a section created for a module of some sort so it only applied to that module am guessing... I'll get these slowly, tho be be honest this is the easy part. the end goal is to have this whole setting running from a Cobalt Qube 3 system so i've a fair distance to go yet.. expect more questions
