In the test environment I have setup I am only using the httpd.conf file. The test httpd.conf is very short. I have a couple of LoadModule lines (to create the access_log and mod_dir so I can use the DirectoryIndex directive. I could send a copy if you want.
The file types are the same as in the httpd.conf setup by Mandrake when Apache was installed. I copied the lines from there. It is wrapped in an If statement to verify that the mod_dir is loaded. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of J.

What file types are you listing with your "DirectoryIndex"? And what file is this entry being made in, commonhttpd.conf or httpd.conf ? drjung -- J.
