RE: [expert] Directive Help in Apache
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.

RE: [expert] Directive Help in Apache
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.

[expert] Directive Help in Apache
I've been fooling with this for several days and I'm not making much headway. I could really use some expert help. I'm working my way through the ORielly book on Apache and they don't set things up like Mandrake. I don't want to mess up the Mandrake conf because I want to go back to it later. So I have a small website setup for testing. I can't get the DirectoryIndex directive to work. When I go to the website I can't get the index.html page to display unless I type it as part of the URL. For example, I have to enter the URL "http://www.domain.com/index.html"; in the browser and I should only have to type "http://www.domain.com";.
