In the httpd.conf configuration file, how could I get Apache to direct the user to a specific file instead of autoindexing. The file would be a php autoindex file with the folder in the url argument. Thank you.

At first you need to set that your script is called.
DirectoryIndex YourIndex.php index.php index.htm index.html
Secondly you need to use mod_rewrite please see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/rewriteguide.html for that.

Thank you, I was aware of calling the script in the arguments for the DirectoryIndex line. I am still somewhat confused how I can do this.

There is one file, let's say "/MyIndex.php" (under the base directory), that I want Apache to redirect to in case of a folder without and index file is requested or if the requested file/directory does not exist.

MyIndex.php accepts one argument in the GET variable so I'm hoping to sent it the requested directory to a variable "request". If we pretend that "$R" is the requested directory as a string, then to show you what I'm hoping to accomplish in Apache demonstrated with PHP: the redirect would look like this:

Code:
"MyIndex.php?request=" . $R;


Obviously I want to redirect any requested folder that does not exist so I could use the ErrorDocument 404 "/MyIndex.php", but I do not know the syntax nor the correct variable to add to that the requested direcotry.
The other problem still frustrates me because I am clueless how to redirect to such a file instead of autoindexing. I also do not know how I could implement the Apache code I found relevant on the suggested page:
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_URI} !-U
RewriteRule   ^(.+)          /MyIndex.php?request=$1


Thank you for reading.

http.conf
Code:

ErrorDocument 404 "C:/apache2/htdocs/MyIndex.php"


or

[code]
DocumentRoot "/server2/www"
<Directory "/server2/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-U
RewriteRule ^(.+) /MyIndex.php?request=$1

</Directory>
