Hi, The example configuration line I quoted was taken from the Apache documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_autoindex.html#indexignore "The IndexIgnore directive adds to the list of files to hide when listing a directory. File is a shell-style wildcard expression or full filename. Multiple IndexIgnore directives add to the list, rather than the replacing the list of ignored files. By default, the list contains . (the current directory)." It's just a stab in the dark :) Good luck.
