Learning Apache and I need a little help.

According to my school material as I understand it this should be a
basic httpd.conf file for a computer on an internal network. I'm
getting errors on DirectoryIndex, <Directory> directory Order
statement. I even copied these statements from the from the default
httpd.conf file. Help me?

Davide,
I'm thinking to activate a system of automated replies redirecting to
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html (it is a *mandatory*
reading in all my computer courses, along with "Zen and the art of
motorcycle maintenance"[1]).
Sometimes I feel myself like a vet, who must deal with an ill cow who
can't describe symptoms... and often I feel the need to act as a vet:
killing the cow.

If the given sample was all, it is indeed _vary_ basic and
SHOULD NOT be used for public exposed server

Assuming a message like 'unknown directive' I assume some modules
are not loaded: probably mod_dir and mod_access
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...directoryindex
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod...ess.html#order

A more detailed report stating version of Apache and OS and quoting a logged
error is commonly more informative than a screen full of text.
