Ogden,
Your Apache config is telling Apache to hand all requests beginning with '/'
to Mason for handling. Therefore, Apache does not do its normal
DirectoryIndex magic, it just hands the request to Mason. (Using localhost
without the slash works because it doesn't begin with a slash, so it doesn't
get handed to Mason).
What I do in these situations is to add code to my dhandler to do the work
normally done by DirectoryIndex. If $m->dhandler_arg is empty, then call the
index.html component and return.
# off the top of my head, untested!
if (!$m->dhandler_arg or $m->dhandler_arg eq 'index.html') {
$m->comp('index.html', %ARGS);
return;
}
Hope that helps.
