During a migration from Apache 1 to Apache 2 I found a problem with
DirectoryIndex in VirtualHosts
I have several Virtual Hosts defined with a DirectoryIndex:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.nationwide-totalflood.com
DocumentRoot /var/jakarta/dpsi-corp/ROOT
DirectoryIndex HomePage.jsp index.html
JkMount /*.jsp worker1
JkMount /servlet/* worker1
</VirtualHost>
Problem is if I use the above DirectoyIndex, Apache always displays
index.html. If I remove index.html then HomePage.jsp is passed to
tomcat normally. I can work around this but it is frustrating that
Apache 2 should behave so differently from Apache 1.
The DirectoryIndex directive merely tells Apache what file to serve if
no file is requested (i.e. if a directory only is specified). In other
words, this file is served in place of a directory listing (or index).
If you don't want to display index.html, the simplest solution would be
to delete that file from the directory. (If you do want to display it,
but not as a directory index, why not rename it to something other than
"index"?)
Hope that helps.
