the index.htm won't autoload

Hi, I'm very new at running apache, so this should be a very easy
question for most of you.

When I connect to my site, it doesn't load the index.html file. It
opens its own index that displays the contents of the files in the
directory. What setting in the config do I need to make for it to look
for an index file instead of create its own?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Look for the line with DirectoryIndex. Add index.html.
That should do the trick.
