apache htacess directory listing

Apache allows to disable directory listing using htacess files.

By default in ubuntu apache document root directory is /var/www

you can edit configuration file located at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

You have a folder called "private" in /var/www/private which contains some information. If your system is connected to internet and have public access anyone can get data from http://yourdomain.com/private !!

To disable directory listing try this:

create a file called .htaccess in /var/www/private

set your favourite editor

export EDITOR=vim

sudo $EDITOR .htaccess

Options -Indexes                #disable directory listing on current directory

or

Options All -Indexes          #disable directory listing recursively

LSIViewer - The Free online Geospatial Data Viewer

LSI viewer (Libre Spatial Information Viewer) [1] was developed for users who may not have access to a suite of GIS software tools but would like to just view/display and print/export the data they have.
LSIViewer is an Online Spatial Map Viewer for your Local Data including Map Styling. Basic Styling includes changing background color, pen color, fill color, label color, label size, pen width.  It allows to view Attribute Table and export the current map view with styling to a SVG/JPEG/PNG files. Currently it can be used as a Map Viewer for Shapefile (.shp) format data. Other data formats are planned to be supported in later versions.  LSIViewer doesnt depends on MapServer, Geoserver.
You can start a discussion, report bugs, give feedback on our redmine instance[2].

Developed and maintained by Lab For Spatial Informatics, IIIT Hyderbad
