[Macpartners] Personal Web Sharing under Panther (10.3.2)

[Carolyn Fuller]

Hi,

I'm hosting a web site on my Mac G4 using Personal Web Sharing under  
Panther (10.3.2) with web pages placed into  
Library/WebServer/Documents.

I have two problems that I've been told are related:

1) Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html is not recognized as my home  
page. But Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en is recognized as  
the home page.

2) If I click a link from my home page the URL is converted from my IP  
Address name (fuller.mit.edu) to "fuller.local" which works from any  
computer on our LAN but breaks from elsewhere.

I've been told I need to modify my Apache config file to recognize  
index.html and that this will fix the "local" problem. It will also  
protect my home page from being overlaid when a new version of Apache  
is installed!

I think I've found the config file:

System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Apache/ 
httpd_conf.pm

Is this the right file? If so, what do I modify?

Thanks,

---
