I have this in apache2.conf:

Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]*

and in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default:

        DocumentRoot /var/www/
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
                RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
        </Directory>

...which says (to me, anyhow) that /apache2-default/ should show up as /, no?

Forgive me, I've been using Mandrake for 3 years, I have never had to really
learn anything about how this stuff really works ;-)

Anyhow, I made the change you suggested and it worked. Muchas Gracias!
