<Directory "/var/www/html/test">

    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride None

    Require all granted

</Directory>

Step 3) Check the syntax and Restart httpd service

[root@master html]# httpd -t

Syntax OK

[root@master html]# systemctl restart httpd

Step 4) Access the URL

[root@master html]# curl -Ik http://master/test
