I set up a web site in Apache on my linode, and created html and cgi-bin directories for it. When I point my browser to it, I don't see the index.html file in the html directory, but rather the list of files in the parent directory.

How do I set up Apache so the browser will display the default index.html file in the html folder. Also, what do I have to do (if anything) to get cgi-scripts to execute from the cgi-bin directory.

If there's an existing tutorial about this, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks!

Note that you need to enable mod_dir, but I think it is by default in most distributions.
