Apache Options

The first section of ProcessWire's .htaccess file is called Apache Options and contains four default settings.

Indexes

Options -Indexes tells Apache to not show the contents of any directory if there isn't an index.php file inside of it. It's strongly recommended that this setting stay in place. If a directory is accessed using a web browser without a specific php file name, a 403 Forbidden error will occur.

However if there is a custom folder whereby you'd like to have Apache generate a directory index, you can create a new .htaccess file in that custom directory and simply give it the contents of Options +Indexes and indexing will work.

MultiViews

We definitely do not want to use MultiViews. Keep disabled.
