apache-index???

[eclipsera]

i am running win2k pro, and my version of apache is....unknown? if you need to know the version, just tell me how. haha. but my actual problem is, i can not find where to set the default file to load when someone goes to the address. right now, when you go to it it is like you are browsing a ftp server in IE. if anyone can help, thanks!

index.html, which is in the apache directory under HTdocs dir. If you load your web page in there with the index.html file it will look proper.

tried that, my main page i want to laod when people go to my address is index.html, and it isnt working... hmmm

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Is it in the htdocs directory, and did you remove all the other files that are in there? if you don't it will load the default one for each language. (index.html.???)

[eclipsera]

yes, actually i didnt remove the files that were in htdocs, i moved them to my desktop just incase i needed them later, w00t. and yes i moved the index.html file i want into the htdocs dir.

if it isnt working you can always set up and .htaccess file specifying the index.html as the DirectoryIndex. But it apache by default looks to index.html as the defaul html page.

If you load up the url with index.html tacked on the end does it load?


You should have this entry in your httpd.conf also
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var


Make sure you specify the DirectoryIndex correctly. Or if you have changed it set it back correctly

sorry, just realized you are getting the ftp like listing not the default page.

in the conf directory there is a file called http.conf, In that file there are 2 entries which point to where that file is located (you can set it to any drive/directory)

By default it's set to the htdocs directory, you can do a search in notepad.

wizard of ozz- i changed the directory for it to look in to "nio", and moved index.html into the new "nio" folder.


krohnjw- i left the entry you showed me the same, and it was in there already. but still no changes....

hmm... very saddening. heh

w00tw00t, good news. i uninstalled version 2.0.x, and installed version 1.3x and everything works, either v2.0x won't work with my machine, or the config file was screwed, thanks for your help

Or you might not have shut down the service and restarted it after the configuration change (changing it to nio)
