Linux LAMP Server & Website ? helpp!?

Question

so i installed a LAMP server in linux ubuntu lts 8.04

how do i change the

Index Of/...... thing to an HTML thing?

Answer 1

I am more familiar with Windows but I can give you some information which may help you to solve this problem.

The reason the Index page is displaying is that the server does not have a default page defined.  If you name a page index.html the server should display that instead of the index you are seeing.  However, what you want to do to solve this is to tell your server that some other document is the default page document for that URL/path.

In Windows I could give you more detailed instructions but I don't know exactly where the information needs to be entered in Ubuntu.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
