Directory listing of the server appears in the browser

Question

I have on the server installed the Debian, Apache, PHP5 and MySql.

When typing in the browser the address of a folder, for example, http://www.dominio.com/api, all folders and files are listed.

How do I make sure that folders and files are not listed in the browser?

Answer 1

To not list your directories, use this directive:

Options -Indexes

No . htaccess or directory settings:

<Directory /www/pasta>
   Options -Indexes
</Directory>

It is possible to deny access to the directory and allow access to the file with . htaccess? how?
