In this case I assume that you just misconfigured Apache.
For Apache, there is no need to specify a redirection for the "index"
page - just tell Apache the list of names which are valid index pages.
Apache then scans the directory for each of the valid names if a
base URL is requested.
In case you one _had_ your index file named "index.html" and then
renamed "homepage.html" and want to avoid problems with other spiders,
which request the old file, I think you will have to issue a complete
URL. Incomplete URLs may cause trouble with various browsers and
diggers.
So either delete that line and include "homepage.html" in the list
of "index" pages or..
Issue complete URLs for the "Redirect" directive or..
Try writing "Alias" instead of "Redirect".
Putting "homepage.html" in the list of index page names should be
the cleanest way.
