Hi,
I want to disable directory listing.
I do this in my .htaccess:
```
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride
```
But it doesn’t do anything. It is just same as before. I can list in directory.

Your htaccess file is called `htaccess`, and not `.htaccess`. Please rename that file and add a dot in the beginning of it before it can be executed by Apache.

Thanks! But it is not correct. I named it by mistake only htaccess and not .htaccess. When I rename it, it works
