Hey, Get Camping, thanks for the tip. Too bad Dreamhost doesn’t have cPanel, they use their own software, which is quite different from cPanel. I’ll take a look to see if it works.

I forgot about indexes on my site and have it now sorted.

You will now be shown a 404 which you can customize if anyone trys to access a directory without an index page.

Awesome. Came across this from Jeffro’s site (http://www.jeffro2pt0.com).

Awesome. I was wondering about how to do that. I used the index.html thing and got an error in my dashboard, so I think I’ll try the permissions change.
