[techtalk] Apache Question

[Melissa Plunkett]

Look at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#options 
There it states that "Any options preceded by a + are added to the
options currently in force, and any options preceded by a - are removed 
from the options currently in force."

So what you need is something like:
<Directory "/web/mikeplumeband.com">
     Options -Indexes 
     AllowOverride All
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

It should inherit Includes FollowSymLinks and ExecCGI from the parent 
directory directive of /web.

Best of luck,
Melissa
