    Edit your httpd.conf - search for DirectoryIndex - add home.htm

    The above is for a standard apache setup ( linux )

    do one thing, you cna do this using Htaccess

    just add this line in .htaccess

    DirectoryIndex pagename.htm
    change the Pagename to the whatever name you want(home.htm or anything else.)

    /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

    otherwise use locate e.g

    locate httpd.conf

    However, Titahost has an easier option - .htaccess

    the exact location of the conf depend upon how you installed the apache.
    It may also be found in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf .
    Be carefull when you edit these parameters because an error can cause the httpd from not getting restarted.
