[thelist] Apache default file for folder

[Daniel J. Cody]

Jon -

If you're using a recent version of apache, you should see a line like 
this in your httpd.conf file:


<IfModule mod_dir.c>
     DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>

Simply add whatever filename you want to show up as the default and 
restart apache :)

.djc.
