In httpd.conf look for the section that looks like
<Directory />
and you should see something like the following after it:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
To disable directory listing, just remove ‘Indexes’ from this line or change ‘Indexes’ to ‘-Indexes’
Make sure to restart your Apache server afterwards and clear your webcache if there's any in the way.
You may also use .htaccess file for passing this directive if you want to disable directory listing for a domain.

You can turn off indexing through your Cpanel >> Index Manager. You can customize the directory view by making changes through index manager.
