Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] A little off-topic Mac/Windoze query



This is a problem with Quid Pro Quo's setup. On version +2.1.2 (and others?)
you can fix it by doing the following.
Control->Services
Double click on your configuration.
Select "Default Files" on the left.
In the list on the right, make sure that the name of your default file is
listed. If not, add it.
It could also be that you need to set up the "Root Folders". You should only
have one entry, with the correct path to you're web pages.

Specifically, the error means that a file called "index.html" was not found
in the Root Folder QPQ was set up to serve files from.
