I just downloaded Apache today,b ut I cannot figure out how to replace
the default index page with my own. I can't even find it. Is there
some control panel or soemthing to use?

You can use e.g. Windows Explorer to replace the default index.html page
with your own.

Yes, I know that, but I can't locate it. I see lots of index files
in the htdocs folder. Do I jsut delete them all and then put mine in?

Are you sure? Don't they have extensions like .en or .fr for languages?
There can be only one index.html in the root directory.

Yes.

Have you checked out the FAQ at the Apache site? I bet they go into
more detail there and in the documention.

Better yet, comment out the DocumentRoot "C:/Program
Files/apache2/Apache2/htdocs" (or whatever your httpd.conf file says the
path is with a # so like:

#DocumentRoot "C:/Program Filess/apache2/Apache2/htdocs"

Then add your own path below:

DocumentRoot "D:\http-root"

Etc.

It's using a type map:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

Your seeing the .en version of the missing index.html in htdocs,
if you see what I mean.
