It really comes down to what you called the main html page of your site.
There is two things you can do,
1) Add the name of the main webpage to the DirectoryIndex directive in
the httpd.conf
eg, DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm main.html
This tells apache what the names and file extentions can be used on the
first page thats served
when someone gets to your site with your www.domainname.com.
Note: This directive applies to all sub directorys as well. So if you
have webpages in sud directorys
instead of linking to say... www.mysite.com/links/main.html, you can
link into www.mysite/links and
the index/main page for that directory will automaticly be served.
2) Change the name of the main page in the DocumentRoot to index.html
Hope this helps
