Trouble updating htdocs

    Hi, I'm new to servering my own webpages and have just installed Apache 2.2. The first thing I did was to place an index.html document in the htdocs directory and try it out with http//:localhost, then it worked perfectly. After that I replaced it with a new index.html file and the old one keeps displaying every time I try to open http//:localhost with my browser. This persists even as I close and restart the server. What am I to noobish to understand? :confused:

    Clear cache, remove all instances of index.html from htdocs - and just leave the one that you want and check it,

    else go to logs folder and see what do you get in access.log - what was the request / what was sent.

    Cheers

    Turns out I needed advice from both of you. Sorting it out, I first noticed that there were two htdocs folders on my machine, and I was changing in the wrong one. Once I noticed that I thought "problem solved!" and just switched the right index.html for my new one. Only, the same problem still haunted me, that is, until I cleared the cache. So thanks, and cheers. :)
