Question Help with Apache & index.htm

I have a little issue that I cannot resolve. When I hit my website either by IP or DNS name instead of displaying the index.htm file It displays a file listing of the contents of www/html/

I have selected index.htm as the valid page types and removed all others just in case, but nothing helps..


Anyone?

For troubleshooting purpose heres the link:
http://hangar18.no-ip.com

Im running Redhat 7.1 (intel) with latest patches from redhat.

Thanks!

I need to fix the links, they still point to mindspring where page was originally hosted... Thanks for the nice comments. That file would not post here in complete form.


Get file from my server here:

ftp://hangar18.no-ip.com/httpd.conf

This is my guess:

DirectoryIndex index.htm under or near

# Documents
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
UserDir public_html
IndexOptions FancyIndexing

rather than in the Virutal Host area, like:

# Documents
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
UserDir public_html
DirectoryIndex index.htm
IndexOptions FancyIndexing


I donno if that makes a difference or not, might be worth a shot, sorry I can't be of more help.
