I have a problem. I do not what to be able users to list in my web so I use this: Options -Indexes For whatever reason the external JavaScript is not loading. But when I erase this line in .htaccess it works pretty good.

Does Option -Indexes means that also JavaScript cannot list in directory? If, how to enable it for JavaScript and disable for users?

    That option should have no bearing on JS. Can you post screenshots from browser develop tools showing exactly which files aren't loading?

  • I am calling external JavaScipt file. But the Javascript file (.js) os not loading. As suggested from @Steve I place an index file in the folder so now it is loading properly (the JavaScript file)

Options -Indexes should only prevent listing of directories that don't have an index file. I haven't heard of the Javascript behaviour before.

There is a way around it. Don't include the Options -Indexes in your .htaccess, instead include an empty index file e.g. default.html or index.php (or whatever is set up for your server) in each directory.

  • Thanks! For my testing example it works! But I have AngularJS that I want to be not directory listed and it have bazillions of folders. So I cannot place blank page in each. So how to prevent it with working JavaScript? Could I make PHP file that will load all .js files and then send them to HTML?
