.htaccess File Options -Indexes on Subdirectories

Question

I have the following .htaccess line, simple no indexes on root.

Options -Indexes

What do we add so it propagates to any sub directory instead of having to create one file for each? One .htaccess on root only.

Answer 1

htaccess files affect the directory they are placed in and all sub-directories, that is an htaccess file located in your root directory (yoursite.com) would affect yoursite.com/content, yoursite.com/content/contents, etc.

This does the trick.

Options All -Indexes
