[wellylug] favicon.ico file in Apache

[Chris Hodgetts]

Sweet I thought that was the case, but I put one in and refreshed the 
page, and it never displayed, but when I went to the DocumentRoot it 
appeared, once I had restarted the browser and refreshed the page, it 
all seemed to work correctly

My bad I should have reloaded firefox to test it before I asked such a 
dumb question :(
