How to make PHPBB not show a directory listining www.mydomain.com/phpBB2/

If I go to http://mydomain.com/phpBB2 I can see the contents of that directory. For example..

Code:

 admin/                  14-Apr-2004 05:24      -  
 cache/                  14-Apr-2004 05:24      -  
 common.php              04-Jun-2003 17:41     5k  
 config.php              14-Apr-2004 16:26     1k  
 db/                     14-Apr-2004 05:24      -  
 docs/                   14-Apr-2004 05:24      -

How can I make it so that when someone goes to that directory for it to display, or redirect me to this URL instead?

http://mydomain.com/phpBB2/index.php

In httpd.conf:

Code:

<Directory  /phpBB2>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Remove 'Indexes'. This will disable the directory browsing.

Second, in httpd.conf:

Code:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
</IfModule>

Not necessarily in that order.

Oh yeah...restart httpd, too!
