[users@httpd] HTdoc root problem
I am running the server on win xp home ed. I want to have just a small personal website hosted, and I put the root directory in the htdocs folder. When I test by going to 127.0.0.1, it shows an ftp like menu, and you have to click on index.html to acces the website. All help appreciated.

Cian,
Have you modified the httpd.conf?
Make certain of the case and spelling of 'index.html' - it must be the
same as it is defined in the httpd.conf.
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
You can add index.htm to the list if that is what you called your index.
Be certain that you have not saved the file as unicode - the file must
be ASCII text only.

I had the same problem, and may have it right now.
1 time when I installed apache I was able to simple remove everything from
HTdocs, call something index.html and it would load properly when the domain
is called up.
I changed the http.conf file and then nothing worked, even when I changed it
back.
So after about 20 installs, uninstalls, and finally a system restore I was
able to install indigoperl with Apache and get the "successful install"
albeit in German, but heck, its a start.

No, I think FTP like pages that you are thinking of just don't have any HTML
written for them.

Thanks to all that helped. The DirectoryIndex was index.html, when my file
was index.htm, so thats working now. When apache doesn't find an index file,
does it turn into some ftp like server, becasue that is what it looked like.

Does the DirectoryIndex in http.conf, perhaps, only reference
index.htm and not index.html ?
