Hello:
I need to make an entrance page in html, i.e., index.html and not have have my index.php be the default. Other than installing the index.php in a separate directory, is there anyway around this? I've already installed the program.
Thanks.

I always have Apache httpd.conf set up so that index.html comes before index.php.
Edit your httpd.conf file and make sure that index.html comes before index.php in the indexes part
EDIT: I believe CPanel also gives access to chaging the default files....
Thanks

you may not have access to editing the httpd.conf file, as that's the server's configuration information file.. .htaccess can change around the indexing as well:
Code: Select all
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
is an example of a .htaccess file. This of course, requires an .htaccess compliant server, such as Apache.
.htaccess.txt

Hi:
I made a file called .htaccess.txt (I have apache) and typed your code in it:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
and it still goes to the index.php.
Any ideas?
Thanks

He never said .htaccess.txt
Just .htaccess
Put it in the directory you need it to apply and it should work
THANKS!!!!!!!
