Apache Newbie questions please!

Hi, I'm running Apache 2.043 on Windows XP

My server runs fine and great but I have some misc questions...

1.)Is there anyway to monitor visitors to my site?

2.)How can i setup Apache to display one particular webpage (404 error)
instead of a directory listing when someone goes to a webpage that doesn't
exist (for example: I have a folder named pictures and i have images in
there linked from elsewhere but someoen can remove the .jpg image link and
be in the /picture/ path and the directory listing comes up. I'd prefer if
they were NOT aloud to display the path.

3.)Are there any resources to someone new to Apache to get answers to these
type of questions? The Documenation on the Apache site seems to answer
things are way over my head at this point.

Thanks

Run a log analyzer on your log files, the most common are
webalizer and analog. If you activate it in the httpd.conf,
you can have a snapshot of what apache is doing using
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://..../server-status" target="_blank">http://..../server-status</a>

ErrorDocument 404 /yourerrorpage.html
Also set the Options -Indexes in your httpd.conf

The documentation of apache is the first point, the FAQ are also the first
point.
