I am trying to set up an virtual Host with Apache HTTP Server,everythings works fine except that i cant disable Indexes in my httpd.conf file.

What i have : In my httpd.conf

 <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI Require all granted </Directory>

In my httpd.vhosts.conf

<Directory ****> Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI Require all granted </Directory>

I thought -Indexes would remove the "index-of" and would instead show my html-file.

Hope someone can help me out with this...

From the Apache documentation:

Note Mixing Options with a + or - with those without is not valid syntax and will be rejected during server startup by the syntax check with an abort.

So in other words you cannot have:

Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

But must instead have this syntax to alter the existing Options settings:

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +Includes +ExecCGI

Or this syntax to just overwrite the existing Options settings:

Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

However I'm confused why you think you need "-Index" as you have not specified that in you main httpd.conf, so it should not be generating the index pages anyway in your vhost sub location?
