Hi kate,

In the example you are giving, and that makes you confused.
Reaching the home page of the domain name of Mycrobites gives a
meaningless HTML page with the sole purpose of redirecting to the new
ones.
http://www.microbytes.com/
-> http://www.microbytes.com/computer/ordinateur/index.php
This is an old very bad practice of webmasters. The HTTP server of
your Web site is Apache. It seems that all your Web site is under
"computer/ordinateur/" I guess a directory tree on the server machine.
I would encourage you to fix the DocumentRoot
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot
There must be a line in your httpd.conf which looks like
<VirtualHost *.*.*.*>
DocumentRoot /some/path/here
ServerName www.microbytes.com
Replace it by something appropriate
<VirtualHost *.*.*.*>
DocumentRoot /some/path/computer/ordinateur/
ServerName www.microbytes.com
And as Nick Kew said, specify
DirectoryIndex index.html, index.php, index.htm
Best Regards.
