Options for <Directory> directive

Indexes
Enables or disables directory browsing. If there is no index.html, index.php, etc. in the document root, will be displayed if this option is enabled. Without this option, nothing will be displayed or an error message will be displayed. -
Includes
Allows the use of Server Side Includes (SSI). -
FollowSymLinks
Allows you to use symbolic links to point to documents in other directories. This is an elegant feature when you want references to objects outside the directory tree (e.g. web server log files), but know that you want to avoid hiding objects in the URL tree. -
SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Restricted version of “FollowSymLinks”. Allows referencing objects via symbolic links only if the owner matches. -
Exec-CGI
Permit CGI execution. -
Multiviews
Allows you to enable or disable dynamic documents based on language.
