no index.html file.

You could rename page1.html to index.html (I'm assuming here page1.html is the first page).

OR

Apache has this neat little directive called DirectoryIndex ... add page1.html to the front of it's list, restart apache and whalla

Good to see you survived Ike.

change the name o the page to index. can you tell me a good book to get from the bookstore, or what to look for in a book, to give me a better understanding of how apache works and how to configure it. everything i have learned i have learned online when it comes to a server. i do some repairs and a small bit of networking, all learned from books.

O'Rielly as far as hsrd copy books, they have one devoted to securing Apache ... I've never read it. I'm sure a search of amazon for "Apache" would prove enlightening.

I have however;

Read the Apache manual completely at least 2 times.
Read sections of the manual most likely near 20 times.
Have done a lot of trial and error.
Squirrel away snippets of stuff I see on forums and such.
Take note of everything security related I see on Apache at security sites.

That last one goes for anything exposed to the hostile web from the OS up.

Apache Manual
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/

Specifically the "User's Guide" and "How-To" sections are the best place to start. After a short time you'll probably just go into "Run-time Configuration Directives"

Some things that over time have become my best friends;
Rewrite* SetEnv*
