[users@httpd] Problem with DirectoryIndex in Apache 1.3.41

["Wendlick, Daniel P" <da...@eds.com>]

I'm having a problem using the DirectoryIndex directive in Apache
1.3.41.  Basically, it doesn't work.  If I access the site as
www.site.org, it correctly redirects to www.site.org/.  It however
returns a 404 error instead of the index.html Page.  If I access the
page directly, www.site.org/index.html, it works properly.  I have
verified that the index.html file exists and has the appropriate
permissions.  I have tried explicitly setting the DirectoryIndex
directive globally, in the Virtual Host container, and even in a
<Directory /> container, with no change in the performance of the site.
Recompiling Apache from source did not change the behavior, so I'm
thinking it's a configuration error.
 
from httpd.conf:
 
<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX>
    ServerName www.site.org
    ServerAdmin webmaster@site.org
    DocumentRoot /opt/apache/site
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    ServerAlias site.org
    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    TransferLog logs/access_log
    Options Indexes
</VirtualHost>
 
 
 
Log file results:
