[users@httpd] Question

Hello;
   A person has his webpages in a directory on http://www.xyz.com (in
htdocs)(no domain name so no VirtualHost involved).

The url is as follows:
http://www.xxx.com:8080/directoryname/index/abcd.html (don't ask me
why??)

How can I set up the directory in Apache httpd config to go to this url
http://www.xyz.com:8080/directoryname/ without the directory listing
showing and without the /index/abcd.html nonsense?

Thanks for the help in advance.  Selmer Ausland

I think what you want is
<Directory /path/to/docroot/directoryname>
DirectoryIndex index/abcd.html
</Directory>

You may also want to add
<Directory /path/to/docroot/directoryname/*>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</Directory>
to turn it back to normal in the subdirectories.

There are several other ways to do the same thing using
Alias/RewriteRule/etc, but I think that is the simplest.
