+============================================================
+
+[Securing your apache web server][3] is one of the most important task, specially when you setting up a new website.
+
+For example, if you create a new website directory called “**tecmint**” under your Apache server (**/var/www/tecmint** or **/var/www/html/tecmint**) and forgot to place an “**index.html**” file in it, you may surprised to know that all your website visitors can get a complete listing of all your important files and folders simply by typing **http://www.example.com/tecmint** in the browser.
+
+In this article, we will show you how to disable or prevent directory listing of your Apache web server using **.htaccess** file.
+
+This is how directory listing will be shown to your visitors when **index.html** not present in it..

+
+Apache Directory Listing
+
+For starters, **.htaccess** (or **hypertext access**) is a file which enables a website owner to control the server environment variables as well as other vital options to enhance functionality of his/her website(s).
+
+For additional information about this important file, read the following articles to secure your Apache web server using **.htaccess** method:
+
+1.  [25 Apache Htaccess Tricks to Secure Apache Web Server][1]
+2.  [Password Protect Apache Web Directories Using .htaccess File][2]
+
+Using this simple method, the **.htaccess** file is created in any and/or every directory in the website directory tree and provide features to the top directory, subdirectories and files inside them.
+
+First of all, activate the **.htaccess** file for your website in master apache configuration file.
+
+```
+$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf    #On Debian/Ubuntu systems
+$ sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf   #On RHEL/CentOS systems
+```
+
+Then look for the section below, where the value of the `AllowOverride` directive must be set to `AllowOverride All`.
+
+```
+<Directory /var/www/html/>
+Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
+AllowOverride All
+</Directory>
+```
+
+However, if you have an existing **.htaccess** file, make a backup of it as follows; assuming you have it in **/var/www/html/tecmint/**( and want to disable listing of this directory):
+
+```
+$ sudo cp /var/www/html/tecmint/.htaccess /var/www/html/tecmint/.htaccess.orig  
+```
+
+Then you can open (or create ) it in the particular directory for modification using your favorite editor, and add the line below to turn off Apache directory listing:
+
+```
+Options -Indexes 
+```
+
+Next restart the Apache web server:
+
+```
+-------- On SystemD based systems -------- 
+$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
+$ sudo systemctl restart httpd
+-------- On SysVInit based systems -------- 
+$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 
+$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
+```
+
+Now verify the result by typing **http://www.example.com/tecmint** in the browser, you should get a message similar to the following.
