JacKDynne,

Thanks m8! now that the 'hard' part is over. :D
that was very helpful for me to pick what's happening.

now i am gonna have a look at how can i stop directory listing. cos when i go to mcored.dyndns.org it gives the directory listing and doesn't load the index.htm or default.htm. The user have to type it mcored.dyndns.org/index.htm to enter the website. :(
i want the web to be loaded when the user types mcored.dyndns.org not only by mcored.dyndns.org/index.htm.

Thanks you very much for your kind help. :)

@E3, dude i am a pro-microsoft man. and i have used IIS. yes it is easier to setup and in the same way easily 'hackable'.
and the reason why i am trying Apache is it is a new thing and i love learning new stuff. and also it sounds good. :D

DirectoryIndex

The DirectoryIndex Directive tells the Server what file(s) it should look for by default before it displays a Directory Index. Your Web Site is most likely configured so that the Server looks for index.html and index.htm files as the default files. If one of these files exists, their contents are displayed. If neither exists, the Server will create a Directory Listing and display that instead.

Example:

A request for http://www.mydomain.com/

will display the contents of

http://www.mydomain.com/index.html

if the file index.html file exists. If the file does not exist, the Server will create a directory listing which will display all of the files and directories in the Document Root.

:D ;)

Thanks guys, that wasn't so bad ;). ~*McoreD*~, I understand where you're coming from and respect that. I should try to find some time to learn more about Apache myself too.

Peace out :),

@E3, This thread is an ideal quick start guide to configure a Apache Server. :)

Thanks JackDynne for all the help and your valuable time. The httpd.conf is too long to be familer in one day. This thread helped me for the short cut. Thanks again. :D

:) You are very welcome McoreD - No problem at all - the pleasure was all mine :thumbsup:

For anyone reading who may not know: You don't have to run *nix to run Apache, there is an .msi package available for the win32 platform :)

Go here to learn more about it: *http://httpd.apache.org/

And this page has the downloads: *http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

:)

like i've said before, the learning curve for Apache is much higher than IIS, but in the end it's a lot more stable and secure in my experience, /me looks at Apache that's running B1 :D :P

I hate this whole hidden text thing. It just forces you to reply, without knowing what you are replying to.

It is my private server. The idea of using hidden text is then you know the people who are eligile to access my server. And now you are part of that. If any thing happens to my server, now you are one of the people who are the suspects.

So don't force yourself to reply whenever there is a hidden text unless you really need to.
