[Imc-tech] RE: library website

[jacobs]

Thanks Zach for fixing that. I had checked the permissions, thinking that 
maybe they had been changed so that nobody had read access to the files. 
There's one small detail that maybe Zach or someone else on the tech group can 
answer for me: On all the pages, we've listed home as: 
http://urbana.indymedia.org/library/

but this now brings up the entire directory, not .../library/index.html. Would 
it be easy to make index.html the default or should I go through all the pages 
and update that url? I'd like to be able to enter ...library/ and bring up the 
homepage. Please let me know if that's possible and if not I'll go in and 
change all the links.

Thanks again for your time Zach!
