Hey,

I've finally setup my apache server in RH9.
I got this welcome msg saying that it is working and I should replace the page blah blah.

Well, so I've put up my stuff. in the root directory
/var/www/html/

index.shtml is the file I want it to be access when I type in

for ex. localhost

but when I type in localhost
the same welcome msg comes out.

Do I need to tweek in a way so that the default site is index.shtml?

I've tried editing the directory search listing in the RH9 http server configuration.

Also I need to know how to setup a permission level to 755.
I am a newbie to linux. (since previous server operating system was win2000)

I have no idea in changing the CHMOD permission level 755.

Thanks,

-Tom-

you need to delete index.html and then it should work fine.

i have been trying but i cant get that page when i type in local host. think you could help me with it???

whats your dns config like?

You might want to check your httpd.conf as well, maybe index.shtml is not in the Documents setting?
