Answer 1

The best way to do this is disable it with webserver apache2. In my Ubuntu 14.X - open /etc/apache2/apache2.conf change from

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted

to

        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted

then restart apache by:

sudo service apache2 reload

This will disable directory listing from all folder that apache2 serves.
