I have no idea what that page is about

I appreciate the help, but these suggests are made under the assumption that I can get someone to change/have access to the server. I'm at school right now. They are quite paranoid about their servers. They wouldn't let me change permissions for the server user on an organization web site so I could use the Gallery software.

So basically, is there anything I can do myself to fix it, short of an index page that forwards to the .shtml page?
