Hello,
I am trying to set up a symbolic link in Suse Linux 6.3. What I want to do is have a link from index.html to my majordomo majorcool start page. This way, when a user types in domo.mydomain.com, they will be directed to the majorcool start page, instead of index.html. I am running the Apache web server.

How do I set up a symbolic link?

Thanks

I'm not sure that will work, but the link is done this way:

ln -s (target-file) (link-name)

Why don't you just rename the page "index.html." That way you won't have to worry about it.

I thought that browsers look for index.html when determining the start page.

No, Apache does. Take a look at the DirectoryIndex directive in httpd.conf, or the docs @ apache.org
