[luau] linux/apache directories

[whenever]

I think you want the images directory to be open to the public but no 
listing.  Permission is change will not allow that, .htaccess need user 
password.  
edit your httpd.conf,  

1) find 
<Directory />
.......... (all your options)
</Directory>
2) Delete 'Indexes' option in there
3) restart  apache

This will take care of the problem, it will not index the directory if 
there's no index.html
