Hello,
This is an easy answer. You MUST define this in addition to the others
listed in the httpd.conf file:
index.php index.php3 index.php4 index.phtml index.phps
this(ese) lines are found under the heading:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm
</IfModule>
Your ISP should know this. Simply tell him/ her to add them. :-)
Best wishes,
Chris
