My website runs on the IIS configured Windows server. So I can’t use the Apache related options. It could’ve been helpful to me if you add configuration details related to the IIS server.

Hi,

In my case the particular section of file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf looks something like this:

  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None

So do I have to make it:

  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Options -Indexes

Thanks

In reply to Ken. I found the issue: the httpd.conf file on my CentOS 7 server has multiple Directory sections: entirety of file system, document root, cgi-bin, etc.

I first edited the entirety of file system, this did not work.
I then edited the document root section, this worked.
I'm not sure yet if both sections should be edited for the changes.
