Answer 1

Create an .htaccess file containing the following line:

Options -Indexes

That is one option. Another option is editing your apache configuration file.

In order to do so, you first need to open it with the command:

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Then find the line: Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

Change that line to: Options FollowSymLinks

Lastly save and exit the file, and restart apache server with this command:

sudo service httpd restart

(You have a guide with screenshots here.)
