Quite true and accurate.

Are you actually starting the secure server of Apache? The httpsd.conf only
applies if the secure server (with an SSL certificate) is being started.
You also probably editted the wrong file as "conf.def" tells me that it's
the default.

Do a 'locate httpd.conf' and modify the DirectoryIndex that you see in
there. If you want it on secure server, do the same for 'httpsd.conf' (with
no 'def' after it). Finally, you need to restart the server to put the
changes into affect.
