Blocking directory listing on a wamp server

Question

So I have a website that runs through wamp however if you type a path in the address bar, you get an index of the directory, which I don't want

I have already tried to add a .htaccess file in the directory to stop it indexing (saying IgnoreIndex *) and went into the apache httpd.conf file and changing

Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf

to:

# Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf 

however none have worked... I have tried restarting my server, restarting services, but nothing... Help?

Solution

You'll need a line

Options -Indexes

in your configuration, either via .htaccess or the httpd.conf.
