The DirectoryIndex in the httpd.conf file has index.html index.html.var. The only other DirectoryIndex is is the conf.d/php5.conf file and they are index.php. I don't have any .htaccess files at this time.

Yes, the Options Indexes does list all the files in the doc root for the default server. So, for some reason it is not seeing the index.html in the doc root directory even though it is there.

Any other ideas why apache is not seeing the index.html file even though it is clearly there?

Thanks,
