I am putting together a website for our church. I loaded Apache web server on an WinXP Pro computer. Another member of church does website design as his job and he is writing code for the website. However, he is not familiar with Apache program and how it differs from whatever he uses. I have FTP access set up for him and pointed it to htdocs folder. He wants to use shtml files but it seems not to read them. Rigth now I have the file index.shtml in the folder and when I go to the IP address, I get the files index and no website. if I click on index.shtml, the website shows up. Is the format you enter the file >shtml not valid? Also, he loaded the index file as a .htm and it did not recognize it also.
Thanks |

I think what you want is that the index.shtml is shown first?
That can be done with
| Code: |
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.htm index.html
|
If I got you wrong, please post it  |

Thanks, That took care of the problem. If the website uses other .shtml files, do you have to add code to make them work? I know that he wanted to be able to use them in the website. help greatly appreciated.
Thanks again |

What kind of "code" do you want to run? PHP, perl, other? Or only basic html? |

| I am only asking about the kind of code to add to the config file. My web guy asked if he could use .shtml files in the website, so I want to be prepared if a page or link isn't recognized, what I will need to make it work. I enabled the two lines of the config that deal with options +includes, hoping that I'm covered. I'm new to Apache and using domain name servers. |
