How to set correctly .htaccess that directory browsing is off for security reasons.

Can I check this working on server when I set this in .htaccess?

Is setting seen in PHPinfo when hosting defines on its own?

Check what to see if indexes are not showing?

If your not sure what they are (indexes)(or how to view them) why even bother with attempting to implement a restriction?

Just do a request for a directory (your domain root or any other that does not contain a default file)will suffice.

If you get a list of files rather than a web page or a 403 Access denied, than noIndexes has not been implemented.
