setting default documets

[bdee1]

i am relatively new to linux/plesk and i just got a dedicaed server set up with plesk 7.5.4 on centOS. one of the things i am trying to figure out is how to change the default dcuments for a site. for instance, if you go to www.mytestdomain.com it will automatically load the inde.html file in that folder. what if i want to change it so that it automatically loads the index.cfm file? where do i go in plesk to do that?

Change the documents in the skeleton folder.

i have a couple questions about that.

the skeleton management button is on the client screen. so what if the client has 2 or more domains? does that mean that my default document settings apply to all my domains? there has to be a way to change this setting for each domain right?

also, let em just make sure i understand how this works - if i go into skeleton management right now and then into the httpdocs folder, there is an index.html file which is the default. but what if i want to have have index.cfm be the default, then if index.cfm is not found, it looks for index.php, and if thats not found it looks for index.htm?

would i just put those 3 documents in the httpdocs folder? if so, how do i set the priority for each?

yea i have already seen that document and i am still unclear on how this works. I mean i understand how to create and upload a skeleton, but what i dotn understand is how to do what i explained earlier:

setup my httpdocs folder so that when i visit it in a web browser it will look for a .cfm file and if not found then a .php file and if not found then a .htm file.

basically i don't get how to set that priority level. in my skeleton if i have a index.php and index.cfm and an index.htm i assume that those are the 3 default files that it will look for but how do i set the order in which it looks for them?

Go to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the extensions you want in the order you want. Here is my line:

DirectoryIndex at_domains_index.html index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.cfm index.asp index.$

Be sure to restart httpd so that the changes take effect.
