APACHE CONF

I have Apache 2.0 running OK on my windowsXP home. When I try to
change the index.html.en to my own web pages it says the it cannot
find index.html.en, and fails to start with anyother index.html in
it's place.

I think it has something to do the the DirectoryIndex setting but I am
not sure.

The section of the apache conf looks like this
#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory,
but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with
respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#

#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess

Your question has nothing to do with the subject of this newsgroup. If you
are having apache config problems I suggest you'll get a better answer from
apaches's site or one of the apache news groups.

That said, find the index.html file that is being served by default. Rename
it to something else. Rename your index page that you want to "index.html"
and put it in the directory where the old index.html was.

The default apache installation should serve a default index.html page
without changing the config files.
