Apache Server

Aug 8, 2007 12:14PM PDT

I setup a Apache HTTP Server using this guide http://www.lifehacker.com/software/feature/how-to-set-up-a-personal-home-web-server-124212.php
along with DynDNS. So I was trying to build a website so I uploaded the website to my server. When I type in the website name it goes to the directory. It shows all the files I uploaded. I would like for it to somehow link automatically to the website html file so you don't have to type in me.com/me.html but rather me.com and link to the website (me.com/me.html). So does anybody know how to do that? Thanks in advance Happy

me.html to like index.html or index.htm ... that is the default page me.com is going to try to access. Also, if it's showing directories, you may want to disable that too, otherwise people can go through all your files.

Okay thanks I will try that. I made a separate server just for the website so I don't have any personal files on there. Thanks Happy
