The immediate panic is over anyway.... seeing as I don't use "mod_autoindex"
anywhere on the site, I disabled this module, which generates these
undesirable directory listings. This'd normally generate a 404 error, which
I then altered in the httpd.conf to point to index.php in the current
directory. I'm off to get my lunch now. I'll fix it when I get back.
