[TriLUG] You don't have permission to access /~jonc on this server.

[Dave Sorenson]

Sure you can. The server admin just needs to set up the option in the 
httpd.conf file to allow the various extensions ie:

DirectoryIndex  index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml index.htm 
index.jsp home.html home.asp
etc etc..

Apache will look for the extensions in order, so if you have, in the 
example given above, an index.php and an index.html apache will serve 
the php file as the index, not the .html .. In practice I find it least 
confusing not to have more than 1 index. something file in directories 
but YMMV You could have a case that you need both etc...
