OK, here is the scoop. I enabled the web server on my G5 a long time ago and I would like to change the default page it shows. You know, the
Quote:
"If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. Blah Blah Blah..."
page if you surf to a IP address without adding a /~username/ after it. I would like to change that page to a more friendly one, but when I searched for index.html, 1,301 results come back. There has to be an easier way than testing every single one.

Anyone know where this specific index.html page is so I can change it?

Thanks

You may want to hole off on that a second! My apache is not working after I edited the file. (Don't be like me and make a backup too!)

EDIT: Doublecrap! Luckily there was an error so I never emptied the trash. I restored the file and restarted and it still doesn't work. I'm gunna go make dinner and I hope it fixes it's self.

OK, Heart attack over. When I restarted, I got a new DHCP IP address, but I still don't know what happened the first time.

All works now and Barto is right. That is the right index.html. (you have to pick your language)
