Well, there is the disadvantage that people will know the locations of your folders and files. I don't think it is a major security issue though, unless of course there is some sensitive information there that can directly be viewed, but if there is, then you should either protect the file or place it outside of document root. If you just want to be sure, then place an index.html file or a .htaccess file that disables directory listing.

I believe it also displays your Apache and PHP version, and if you are using an out dated, and exploitable version, this could be an issue.

I think a 403 error would do so as well, so if that is an issue, then an index file would be the only solution.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
