( I use Apache 2.0.48 on XP Prof)

Under Apache 1.x I simply dumped my html files in the webroot folder and
'it' worked.
I am struggling to get my simple .HTML website running under 2.x
I see some things have changed dramatically in the conf files.
I checked the help but still don't understand how the mechanism works now.

Can anyone explain how I set up acces in the proper way to ANY html file ?
(primary concern is to het the server to respond with a default file when no
file is specified in the URL)
And when/why would I want a .var file, and how do I make a proper .var for
my own html files ???

Sorry for asking, I just can't make up what's what from the rather technical
manual (and I am not even a pc illiterate sigh, must be getting old)

Thanks,
Best!
Sjoerd

What your're looking for is in the httpd.conf.
My conf looks like this and it works fine but I don't use .var so
you'll need someone else to explain that.

[...]

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

Joe, thanks for your reply! The weird thing is, that's exactly what I had in
mine. And as long as I leave the 'original' Apache pages in my docroot it
works like a charm, but as soon as I either remove the .var file from that
folder or add an index.html (all the default ones have a language extension)
I get nothing but an error. (tried creating a blank index.html, a default
one and renaming one of the provided ones....
Removing the .var from the DirectoryIndex clause in the httpd.conf does not
work either.

I'm baffled now it DOES work for you.... Looks like something else is not in
order then...

I have exactly the same problem, except what I did was to leave the default if
you have no index.html file where it was and then put in a index.html, test.html
etc.

If I try to get to it by just putting in the web server, no luck, but if I put
in the Webserver/index.html or test.html it works fine. I even created an
index.htm file.

No joy in getting anything unless you named the document.

Any one got any thoughts?

It is a standard full install of redhat 9, I did use the GUI tool to modify
httpd.conf.

Kind regards

Sounds familiar to me too.

Doesn't look like something very high tech, still no good solutions seen
here or online.

Is it THAT hard people ? Out of the box install of 2.0.48 and adding a file
'index'html' to the docroot fails to load in a browser connecting to the
server by name. MUST be a simple straightforward overlooked situation it
seems or is this really rocket science ???

If I connect to localhost from the machine itself it gives the same
error(s). Don't remember anything similar under 1.3.x (both under Win32).
And since a fellow here uses Linux and has the same issue, my guess it is a
wrong/missing setting in httpd.conf

WHO helps us all out ???

I am suspecting you are mapping the .html extension as a type-map. Do
you have this somewhere in your document root:

<Files *.html>
SetHandler type-map

Geez, the weirdest thing...
I tossed out the httpd.conf and copied a fresh one from the
httpd.default.conf,
made about the same changes to that one I made before (at least I think lol)
and now.....
it works like a charm.

Differences:
- I did not specify a listen IP address.
- I made all references to my docroot lowercast.
- I changed the UserDirectory to something else.

It serves index.html now without any problem when the URL entered is just
the servername.
Surprised, but happy....
