Total Novice!
Dear All
I'm a total novice when it comes to servers, I have managed to download and instal Apache - I have also changed the conf. files, only problem is I can't see my web pages, only the directory that they are in - can anyone help? I'm using Windows XP and trying to configure it with Cold Fusion
Thanks a Bunch in anticipation
Warm Regards
Maddie

If I understand correctly, you are seeing the directory index - what do
you see when you click on the file?
The important directive is:
DocumentRoot C:\Path\to\Your\Directory

Dear Pietro
Thank you for your help, unfortunately the answer is no, when I click on the
files in the directory I don't see the pages either and I have an index.html
page, which is why I don't understand - any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated, many thanks

does "only the directory" mean you see the file names you can click on?
if yes, rename one of your html files to "index.html", and try again.
check the documentation about DirectoryIndex directive for more info.
if you're a really really total newbie, remember to restart your server
after changing the configuration files.
hope it helps.
