OK. The root for your server should be specified in your config file /etc/apache/httpd.conf By default this is /var/www There should also be a matching <Directory> entry for this directory that specifies that indexes are allowed and what file. Later in the file you should find a <DirectoryIndex> entry that specifies what file names are used for indexes and what order they are sought. The file does not need to be owned by www-data, but they must be readable by that user. If these appear to be OK, then I suggest searching for the relevant text in the files in /var/www (Hopefully not teaching you to suck eggs:) You do this quickly by issuing the following command. grep -rl "Text I see in my Web Page." /var/www/* or you can do it case-insensitively: grep -ril "Text I see in my Web Page." /var/www/* The "r" means recursively and the "l" (ell) means only show me the filenames of the matching files - do not show me the individual lines. If this doesn't help, then we may have to look at what hosts (virtual and otherwise) you may have configured. Keep on trying....
