"Am I going to have trouble with a single page website when I get a lot of traffic?" Depends on your connection's upload speed.

"But because there is no httpd-ssl.conf, ssl does not work." So you are saying that you don't have an httpd-ssl.conf?  If not, then you need to configure one.

A.  Paste the files into your htdocs directory B.  View them by typing in the name of your server.  Or if you are browsing on the same computer as your server - http://localhost

Are the urls in the script configured for www?  I would recommend not putting in the entire url in your script code (ex instead of "<a href="www.this.com/kool">" put "<a href="/kool">").  Otherwise sometimes you will be on www.this.com and then go to the script, click on a link and end up on http://this.com and then the links may not work.

Does your server give a response if you enter in www.yourdomain.com? If not, then adding a rewrite rule or re-configuring your server is not going to help. My site doesn't work at all if you use www. It has to do with the DNS config I think. So you would have to look at your DNS server.

A quick google search returned these pages, which may be able to help: Using ASP [a href=\"http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q239875\" target=\"_blank\"]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;q239875[/a] Mod_rewrite [a href=\"http://mail.opengroupware.org/pipermail/users/2004-July/010159.html\" target=\"_blank\"]http://mail.opengroupware.org/pipermail/us...uly/010159.html[/a] Scroll half way down the page and you'll see how they wrote the rewrite rule. Also, if you just want a much simpler method you could just put an index.html file in that directory. Then inside of that file you could use html code to redirect the user. However, the user could still work their way around this.

All you have to do is add "Deny All" without the quotes in that directory in the httpd config file. That will deny anyone who is trying to browse that directory.

The other option, what I use, is the .shtml extension. It is server-side html. So you can put a tag on shtml pages that will insert the code that is located in the file you specify in your tag.
