hi
I could not understand you exactly. But I have some suggestion, hope helps.....
1 ) change the mode of your diresctory to 700 or 600 something that does not allow "other" user to see your directory content. This will show a "Forbidden" message on the browser screen. But, by the way you cannot list directory content even your docs!

2 ) edit your httpd.conf file (it must be under /usr/local/apache/con in FreeBSD, I am not sure!) and find the lines below

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
</IfModule>

I your documents are in HTML or TXT format add the name of your file to the list and restart your server.

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm my_doc.html
</IfModule>

something/apache/bin/apachectl restart

Now, your browser assumes that "my_doc.html" is an index page.

Bye...

NAME

       apache - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server overview

DESCRIPTION

	apache	consists  of a main server daemon, loadable server modules, some additional support utilities, configuration files, and documenta-
       tion.

FILES

       The apache HTTPD server is integrated with Solaris.

       The following files specify the installation locations for apache:

       /etc/apache	       Contains server configuration files.

			       A newly-installed server must be manually configured before use. Typically this involves copying httpd.conf-example
			       to the httpd.conf file and making local configuration adjustments.

       /usr/apache/bin	       Contains the httpd executable as well as other utility programs.

       /usr/apache/htdocs      Contains  the  Apache  manual  in HTML format. This documentation is accessible by way of a link on the server test
			       page that gets installed upon fresh installation.

       /usr/apache/include     Contains the Apache header files, which are needed for building various optional server extensions with apxs(8)

       /usr/apache/jserv       Contains documention for the mod_jserv java servlet module. Documention can be read with a web  browser	using  the
			       url:

			       file:/usr/apache/jserv/docs/index.html

       /usr/apache/libexec     Contains loadable modules (DSOs) supplied with the server. Any modules which are added using apxs(8)are also copied
			       into this directory.

       /usr/apache/man	       Contains man pages for the server, utility programs, and mod_perl.

			       Add this directory to your MANPATH to read the Apache man pages. See NOTES.

       /usr/apache/perl5       Contains the modules and library files used by the mod_perl extension to Apache.

       /var/apache/cgi-bin     Default location for the CGI scripts.

			       This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/htdocs      Default document root.

			       This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/icons       Icons used by the server.

			       This normally shouldn't need to be changed.

       /var/apache/logs        Contains server log files.

			       The formats, names, and locations of the files in this directory can be altered by various configuration directives
			       in the httpd.conf file.

       /var/apache/proxy       Directory used to cache pages if the caching feature of mod_proxy is enabled in the httpd.conf file.

			       The location of the cache can also be changed by changing the proxy configuration in the httpd.conf file.

NOTES

       In addition to the documentation and man pages included with Solaris, more information is available at http://www.apache.org

       The  Apache  man pages are provided with the programming modules. To view the manual pages for the Apache modules with the man command, add
       /usr/apache/man to the MANPATH environment  variable. See man(1) for  more information. Running catman(1M) on the Apache  manual  pages	is
       not supported.
