How can I generate “automatic start sites” or default start pages?
If you browse to a folder like http://localhost/xampp/ the Apache server will return a start site automatically. The Apache server looks for a start page for your site, such as index.html or index.php. This is configurable from the “DirectoryIndex” directive in the httpd.conf file. Here you can define the names and the arrangement for your start sites. In XAMPP the “DirectoryIndex” directive list is as follows: index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi index.pl index.html index.htm index.html.var index.
