Re: Apache cant find my index.htm

Apache is usually set up alredy to look for an index.htm OR index.html file as the start page in a directory. You can check this in httpd.conf: Open it in notepad and do a search for 'index.html' or 'index.htm' to find the list of pages to use as an index - you can add index.php if you wanted as well. It might not be finding the page because you missed the slash off the end of the URL. Try http://10.10.10.32/blunt/ and see if that works. If you really want to use http://10.10.10.32/blunt to get to http://10.10.10.32/blunt/index.htm then make an alias in the [Alias] section of httpd.conf. If you have PHP4 on the server, it doesnt let you run CGI or Perl scripts unless you have a verion of Perl on the server as well. You can have both without a problem. I dont know of an Apache newsgroup run by ASF but there are newgroups dedicated to web servers and servers running on Windows NT etc. I think there is an Apache mailing list on their website but I'd be interested in an Apache specific newsgroup if anybody knows of one.
