Did you restart httpd?
Good question. Yes I did.
What do your logs say after you access the site. tail -200 /var/log/messages tail -200 /home/log/httpd/error tail -200 /home/log/httpd/access
No errors, just 200 (document found) for example: HTTP/1.1" 200 9944 " To solve the problem (not so elegant) I deleted index.html Gerard
