Apache Newb question

Ok folks, working with a buddy of mine to setup apache on one of my vm servers.  I have apache and the website files in the appropriate directory, I can access the site by going to http://servername/index.htm , but when I browse to http://servername it goes to a listing of the files in the http directory on the server.  How do I get it to go right to index.htm?

Thanks again

Hi ybotspawn,
you can use the DirectoryIndex directive in your config file:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php ..

You need to enable mod_dir module.
I think it's better than redirect.

Thanks, got it solved though.  Luca, can I get your avatar as a img file?  I have some places that would be perfect for using it as a sticker
