Hello,
we have an application on our server and google already found it and indexed it. Now when we search for our appliaction at google, we also find a page that is labled "Index of /i/doc/ja/dcommon/html". Actually its a directory on our server and it contains an oracle copyright notice.
Now if you search vor "/i/doc/ja/dcommon/html" at google you will find several more apex pages and using the parent directory link in that page you can navigate through the apex images directories of that applications.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks for help in advance,
Dirk

There are at least two ways round this, first is simple, you create a blank index.html file and copy it into any directory you wish to not show a directory listing.
The second, (with Apache at least) would be to take away the indexes option for a specific directory or everything by adding something like the following into you http.conf file.<Directory /> Options -Indexes </Directory>
or just add theOptions -Indexes
into your virtual host settings within http.conf.
Or of course you could put the Options -Indexes into a .htaccess file as a local override to your http.conf file.
There are many different ways to do it depending on the scope and how much access you have to the server config.
