This is an example of why OS X can be so frustrating. I have a PC running Windows 2000 and successfully set it up as a server quite easily. It uses a control panel to set default documents. Very simple. I have set up my laptop running Jaguar as a server, but it won't recognise an html file as a browser file. There is no obvious way to set this that I have found. I have read the 'Homemade Dot Mac: Deax' article and it's reader responses and found out I need to edit the httpd.config file. I have searched the entire hard drive for such a file and it's just not there. Not only that, the etc/config/ directories that supposedly contain the file aren't there either. I hate it when Windows does things easier than a Mac. Can someone clue me in? Thanks.

  I do not know what kind of a MAC you own but Coldfusion automatically found my files and directories then proceeded to load with very few promts from me . Now my PC(Peice of Crap)on the other hand does not seem to have an httpd,config file anywhere- asystem search turned up nothing. other hand

  You will find httpd.conf here:
  /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
  
  Go into Terminal and switch to su (become the 'root' use) --- from within the Finder, you have to 'Go to folder' (shift-command-G) and type in the path /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
