Hi John, As there was so much to read through in the responses to your question - If I missed this solve, I'm sorry.. > I am having an issue with the DirectoryIndex. I had a similar problem recently. I had my DirectoryIndex in the order I wanted in the conf file and it worked fine for hundreds of years ;) until I upgraded to a newer distro. I found I had to NOW add my unique DirectoryIndex order into the 'dir.conf' in the /apache2/mods-enabled directory as a <IfModule dir_mod.c> instead of a <IfModule dir_module> As you may be able to tell, I'm running on a Linux (UNIX clone) server but I'm sure your wimpdows system uses the same filenames/DIRs If your dir.conf file is empty, just enter the index files you need (you may want to include all the index files you may use. Notice, in my example, I have the .html last so the others are looked for first.. I use perl a lot, so I have that first.. e.g. <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.pl index.php index.shtml index.html </IfModule> Hope this helps in your case, -- Nick. . . _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ . . . . . . . .
