Topic: How do I get the home page to open automatically ?

[jgober]

OS = Linux
Apache Version = 2.2.11
Cpanel Version = 11.25.0-RELEASE

I am constructing a web site on an Apache Host. I have uploaded the proper files and folders to the correct directory. But when I go to the new domain in IE, all I see is a directory of the HTML files and my images folder.
If I click on the "home" page file (named "index.htm") it displays properly.

My question is...how do I get the home page to open automatically when somebody visits the domain?

Thanks

Put in your httpd.conf:

DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex
