htaccess not changing DirectoryIndex or hiding index

Hi all.

 

This is my first time working with .htaccess files so I searched around, and didn't find anything helpful.  I'm trying to use an .htaccess file in a subdirectory of my document root to stop the browser from showing the document list.  I'm also trying to change the DirectoryIndex from the default to dashboard.php, but its not working.  Do I have to restart apache to have it recognize the .htaccess file?

 

.htaccess

Options -Index
DirectoryIndex dashboard.php

(dashboard.php and .htaccess are in the same directory)

Been awhile since I've done it, but I think it should be

 

Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex dashboard.php

 

You shouldn't have to restart Apache as .htaccess are per-folder not per-server directives.
