[support] GNU License displayed instead of home page

[Steve Edwards]

We finally figured it out.  For some reason, the .htaccess file was 
explicity overriding DirectoryIndex to point to license.txt.  I have no 
idea why, since I just uploaded the standard Drupal file (or at least I 
thought I did).  But at least it's fixed.

Thanks for your suggestions.
