computer question (4 a technically challenged member)

What does it mean when you visit a website and this message appears:

Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.sitenameremoved.com Port 80
(I changed the site name to protect the owner's privacy)

This has occured on message boards I have visited before and it will list a bunch of categories: Parent Directory, etc etc.

Does anybody know what this is? :uhh: :confused:

It's the default page generated by the Apache webserver when you request a directory, like http://yoursite.com/adirectory/.

Okay, that helps a little.

:uhh: But I'm still confused because I wasn't trying to open a directory, the page just appeared that way when I went to the site.

Thanks.

Then the site's root directory had no index file.
