Cannot index pages

[llamy]

Hi Falko and all,

Thanks very much for the forums and your help for the linux community.
I, myself i'm a linux biguinner with some serious questions i did not find
any answers yet for about 3 days now even in the forums. So please Falko, and everyone else, your help will be once more greatly appreciated. Thx.

here is the environnement :

I have just installed Fedora core 6 with your tutorial the perfect lamp server. The installation of ISPConfig was very good and everything is working fine except that postfix gives some errors at system shutdown, but i will have to check the postfix logs to see what it is exactly, but at this time i have this issue now which is much more important for me.

here is the issue :
when i try to access my website by (http://www.mywebsite.com/index.html) it gives me the following error page :
"
Not Found
The requested URL /index.html was not found on this server.
"
but when i type (http://www.mywebsite.com) in the url i get the apache welcome. This is the only page i get on my site i cannot even get it through the http://www.mywebsite.com/index.html.

To try to solve that i added the following directive with ISPConfig:

<Directory /var/www/www.mywebsite.com/web>
#
# i have also tried with /var/www/www.mywebsite.com/web/ but still same !#results.
#
Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Deny from all
</Files>
</Directory>

But still the problem is there. After that i modified my httpd.conf to

AllowOverride All
instead of
AllowOverride None

But like before after restarting ISPConfig server, the problem is still there. So i changed it back to the normal httpd.conf file. Here is the exact copy of my httpd.conf file. And i do not have any .htaccess file in /var/www/web1/web.

Please help me! i fill lost now for 3 days. Thanks very much.

Here is the output of my error log file.

[Wed Jun 27 06:10:27 2007] [error] [client ::1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/
[Wed Jun 27 06:10:35 2007] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/index.html

thanks.

Using the error log i noticed that the error was about a directive of indexes forbiden in the directory /var/www/html but this is not what it was supposed to be as the directory but instead should be /var/www/mywebsitename/* so i figured out that i was not typing the write url since the site is still on test (no valid url so far) and accessing it through http://localhost or http://IP_address will not work. i added an entry in /etc/hosts for the name "mywebsitename" (which is the name of the my website in ISPConfig) and now when i access the site by typing: http://mywebsitename, it just works fine now.

Thanks guys!
