Questions About Serving Documents

Why isn't the folder default file (default.html - index.html) returning properly?

Most likely one of the following:

  1. In your configuration, you have improperly specified the file name
  2. The default file isn't present
  3. The default file has an incorrect name

Make sure that there are no colons in the name given for the INDEX file in the config file. For example:

"INDEX :default.html" will not work properly, but
"INDEX default.html" will work.

Also note that MacHTTP and WebSTAR do not automatically generate folder listings.
