I had a problem getting apache to recognize a list of names for default documents. I often use index.php and index.html but when I put both names in the "general" tab for site set up it saw that as one name (index.html index.php) So I looked at the config file "http_osxserver.conf" and noticed that it has all values between quotes "index.html" so if I added two names it looked like "index.php index.html" so on a hunch I tryed to outsmart it and set the default document in the GUI to index.php" "index.html and it worked, If you look back at the config file it looks like "index.php" "index.html"

Hope this helps.

Actually there's a better way. In the setting in the admin server just it to index. There with a text editor go into /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and edit lines like:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

This allows it to pick up files index.php3, index.phps, index.shtml, and index.shtml. I routinely used index.html and index.shtml and it works fine.
