how to pull up index page
|
|
|
| When my website is accessed it shows Index of/ and lists all the pages.
How do I get it to go dircetly to the index page? I have tried
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/index.htm and C:/Program
Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs for my directory files and neither
work. Any help would be appreciated.

By default, Apache usually will look for a file called "index.html" in a
directory if you don't ask for a specific page in the URI.
You can change the storage directory, and the default file name, if you
like, in the Apache configuration file. Personally, I dislike calling a
file "index.something-or-other" if it's not really an *index*, and I
dislike serving public documents from somewhere in the middle of the
programs directories (if someone does discover a directory traversal
exploit, it's probably best that your documents aren't served from a
location that they know about - so they can't easily find what they're
looking for to hack you).
