Default how to setup apache

I was trying to setup apache last week.

I was able to get it installed and I could put files on it.

But if I had a file called index.html it wasn’t opened automatically by going to the directory.
Does any one know how to set it up correctly?

No, I had problems getting my Apache server to work as well. I lost my Web hosting and I needed a way to test my PHP coding. Someone post if they know please.

I recommend you google FoxServ and install that - its Apache+PHP+MySQL, and it does all the work on the config files for you. Very handy if you just want it to work out of the box

You can also use Abyss web server. Its basically a very simple and easy to use web server thats completely hassle-free. I got Abyss, MySQL and PHP up and running within 30 minutes.

Apache server is used to configure the PHP and all web based programming languages. Apache server is one of the most popular server used by the web programmers all over the world.

Default Check DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf

If your Apache install isn't opening index.html and is instead showing directory contents or an access denied message (and you don't want that), you need to check the following config entry in your httpd.conf:

Make sure you have index.html specified as a DirectoryIndex file:
DirectoryIndex index.html
*you can add other file names like index.php, etc. if you want Apache to serve them up instead of trying to do a directory list or giving an access denied message.
