For the most part I always create a folder for each script I install. Is there a way I can hide each folder such as mysite.com/whateverfolder/ . I really would rather not just have anyone being able to browse around and seeing exactly what script I am using or the contents of any certain folder. How do I configure my server so that it says page cannot be viewed or something instead of showing each file in that folder. I do know this is possible so your input advice would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe you might want to refer to this page.. http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/ You can seure your folder, when user want to view the folder, they will be prompt with username and password that have been configured. This solved your problem?
If it's Apache, it's done with the mod_autoindex module. So you would need to disable that. The other thing you could do is just put a blank index.html page in the folders.
I am using linux with cpanel sorry for the slow reply and thanks for your fast one. Also I should know all this already but I know nothing about htaccess ect although I can try. Side note: I dont want them to be able to enter password ect but not be able to veiw at all. I wish I knew where I could find an example. It should say something like you dont have authorization to view this page ect.
