How to disable directory browsing in WAMP
June 3, 2015 / by Marco / Categories : Technology
If you’re using WAMP and are browsing a folder without an index.php or index.html file, the WAMP server will display all the files contained in that folder. Here’s an example:
This can become a security risk as the visitor is able to browse and download all the files. In order to disable this you need to edit the httpd.conf file which can be found here: C:\wamp\bing\apache\apache[version]\conf\httpd.conf
Look for the line
[codesyntax lang=”php”]

1 |
Options -Indexes |
