The way you normally open a webpage is to point to the domain name (i.e. www.test.com). When I do that I get a 404 error. But when I point to www.test.com/index.html the page comes right up.
I have a DirectoryIndex directive but it doesn't seem to be doing the job. I have the LoadModule directive for module_dir before the DirectoryIndex directive. I tried to put a AddModule directive right after the LoadModule directive but it gives me an error -- mod_dir.c is already loaded, skipping.

You want a index.html to open when *only* your domain name is put into the url, right? For Mandrake, put this in your commonhttpd.conf file: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml (and any other file type that might suit your fancy) As for as loading a mod called "mod_log.c", uncomment the line in httpd.conf that pertain to loading this module. These two items are unrelated but this is what you can do with both issues.... drjung -- J.
