A: This error means that the Web server cannot find a default home page for the intranet site you requested. When you make a simple domain request like http://intranet without a URL path, the Web server cannot tell what specific document should be returned. In this case, the server should normally be configured to send a default page, such as index.htm, rather than show an error page.
This problem also applies to virtual directory paths like http://intranet/example. Ideally, hyperlink URLs should include a specific file path at the end, such as http://intranet/example/index.htm, but one cannot rely upon people to type full URLs into their browsers.
The Apache Web server's configuration file httpd.conf normally has a DirectoryIndex directive, as below, to specify the default index page to use in these cases, listed descending priority order.
