Can you please advise whether we need to make any changes via HTACCESSMAKER following the recommendation by Joomla! Project to edit HTACCESS files as follows after updating to Joomla! 3.9.22?
HTACCESS Pre v3.9.22
## No directory listings
<IfModule autoindex>
IndexIgnore *
</IfModule>
HTACCESS Pst v3.9.22## No directory listings
<IfModule mod_autoindex.c>
IndexIgnore *
</IfModule>
HTACCESSMAKER in my websites is currently generating:
##### No directory listings -- BEGIN
IndexIgnore *
Options -Indexes
##### No directory listings -- END
Many thanks,
Ken :)

Hello,
long story short: our code is correct.
.htaccess Maker allows you to choose whether to include the directive or not. As a result it DOES NOT need to be wrapped in IfModule. Moreover, we do the right thing and add Options -Indexes to tell Apache to NOT even try creating directory indices instead of merely telling it to ignore adding any file to the index.
Please remember that Joomla DOES NOT do things the right way. It does them the way it's least likely to cause a problem. .htaccess Maker does it the right way and gives you options to toggle features in case they do cause a problem. Our approach is better for security but requires support. Joomla's approach is just OK for security in most cases and does not require any support whatsoever.
