Description libing wang

Just found it in the current  orion.eclipse.org.
When I clicked on the site link in http://orion.eclipse.org/sites/sites.html, it just showed me Index of /anothersite.orion.eclipse.org/.
I had to clcik on the index.html to use self hoasting.

For convenience and to match a regualar running Orion we might want to add a mapping for the self-hosting case. However I really did purposely want to get  away from auto-mapping folder requests to index.html as a general rule as this is a non-standard feature for general purpose web servers.

The sites feature was relying on the WelcomeFileFilter for this redirect behavior. This appears to have changed recently, I will investigate.

Really? I thought these kinds of rewrite rules were very common in Apache.

I've added a mapping that handles /index.html into the self-hosting site configuration.

To get the fix, you will need to refresh your self-hosting setup:
- Open your self-hosting site in the editor
- Click "Convert to self hosting" on the toolbar, and choose the folder where your client code is located.
- Click OK, then Save.
The next time you start the site, it should redirect.

Note, however, that this only redirects for the top level ('/') of your hosted site. Bug 342034 talks about extending this behavior to any folder.
