Apache vulnerability

My Apache web server doc directory is readable which gives the information installed.
(http://172.29.200.181/doc/ and ///?PageServices)

How do i impose access restrictions t this directory?

Re: Apache vulnerability

I would consider read access to your webserver's DocumentRoot basically quite normal as this is what one usally intends, viz. to serve content to the world ;-)
You restrict access through mod_access and the ubiquitous "Allow from" directives in either or containers (regard the restricted scope).
Please, refer to the Apache mod_access' doc for details
