Enable mod_rewrite (if it's not already):
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load .
Then add somethign like this to your sites-available/default:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index.html)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(picture1.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(picture2.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(stylesheet.css)$
RewriteRule ^.+$ http://your.apache.box/index.html [R,L]
</IfModule>
Restart Apache...
Disable RewriteLog (or certainly lower RewriteLogLevel) when you have
things the way you want them. Otherwise, the log file will grow really
big in no time.
Read more about mod_rewrite at
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html>. It's a rather
complex module that can do all sorts of rewriting.
