I can't get the directory contents to not be listed when viewing localhost/mySite

Question

I have localhost/mySite/logs as password protected and it works using .htaccess and .htpasswd, but additionally I would like to have localhost/mySite to not list directory contents. I've tried doing this in /etc/apache2/apache2/apache2.conf:
<Directory "/www/var/mySite">
Options -Indexes
</Directory>
Currently I have this in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
I can get around this by putting a blank index.html in /var/www/mySite but what is the other way using Options -Indexes? (I got from some where else that by default all files under /var/www ignore the .htaccess file so I changed the AllowOverride None to All in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default)

Answer 1

My dirty solution is to create an empty index.html file in each such directory.

Answer 2

In /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, somewhere there you will hit:

<Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   [...]
</Directory>

remove Indexes and I think you solved your problem.
