RewirteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://sample.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewirteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sample.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$

It is used to eliminate the security concern that the directory structure is exposed to the outside.

Publishing the directory in this way will expose the structure of the website and there is certain risk from the security point of view. Therefore, by canceling the file list display in the directory, it is possible to prevent publication of the directory structure.
Options -Indexes
