server question

[Pouncer]

im using the WAMP server, and when i do something like

http://my-ip/test.txt

(as the text file is in my www folder in the php area)
i see the test.txt in the browser - no problem, works fine... BUT
when i do..

http://my-ip/

i see a page about the WAMP server which says stuff about my sqlversion, php, apache etc..

how can i change this so that when i go to http://my-ip/
it just has a page saying Hello, welcome to the site.

thats it, nothing else..

any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance..

Change the DirectoryIndex directive in your Apache configuration file to some page, such as index.html.

Go to the Document Root, where the pages are stored, and create/replace an index.html file there.

What I usually do is to change the DocumentRoot to something like C:\web and place my files there.

Just to add to Mendhak, the file is named httpd.conf and is usually in the directory apache/conf

Also, it sounds like your root is propably setup properly, but WAMP comes preconfigured with a default index page (Xammp does this as well). The easiest thing to do is to go to your root and find the index page and rename it to something else (index2) then create your own index file for a welcome page. Now when you go to http://my-ip you will get you index page and if you need to change settings via the WAMP page you would enter http://my-ip/index2.html or whatever you name it.

Good luck

There is also a directive called ServerTokens which allows you to control the information the server gives to the users about itself. If you set this to Prod. It will simply say "Apache"
