I’ll have to have a dig around then. Appreciate your help, it’s just a bit urgent for us.

Try asking any small business to tell you exactly how many patrons they have on each given day. Perhaps it’s different from country to country, but here, that info is never shared. And the idea of having a running statistic online of that exact figure is crazy.

In my config I have:

<!-- Uncomment this if you want directory listings -->

So it appears the default was to have no directory listings.

I’m not sure why it would break anything not sending data out to a directory? And dare I say, it shouldn’t!
