[Zope] 2.4.1b1 install -> no index_html in root folder?

[jon@totient.demon.co.uk]

Hi

Zope 2.4.1b1, Python 2.1, Redhat 6.2

I set up zope in a seperate directory
and created a site directory.
I modified the start script to use
INSTANCE_HOME for the site and
ZOPE_HOME for the Zope tree.

Everything started ok, but
via the browser there is no index_html in the root folder.
at http://host:8080
If I go to the management screen
http://host:8080/manage it appears to work.

the standard_html_header/footer documents are Ok.

any ideas why index_html is missing?
