When I access a directory hosted by Apache that does not have a index.php file or similar, Apache lists the content of the directory for me. How can I block this? I'm using Apache2 on Ubuntu.

In the appropriate <Directory> stanza. For instance it may look like this:
<Directory /www/somefolder>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Change this into
<Directory /www/somefolder>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
If there is no Options... line, you can add one with the content Options -Indexes for any <Directory...> stanza. The options are separated by a space ().
Note the - in front of Indexes. This is also covered briefly in the Apache documentation.
The index are generated by mod_autoindex.

@20_90 The default config file for default host is/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf. You can also add this to the<Directory /var/www/>stanza of/etc/apache2/apache2.conf. Simply put a-in front ofIndexes.
