When someone types in the root url of my website index.html is displayed, I would like index.php to displayed. Could someone tell me how I can do this?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Westen

In Apache config file, change DirectoryIndex line to this one:

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Any one of:

1) Delete/rename the index.html file
2) Add a meta-based redirect

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; /index.php" />
3) If the server runs apache, create a file named ".htaccess" at the root of your website with the following:

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex index.php

Thank you, I just deleted the index.html file. Is there no problems associated with this?


Cheers,

Not if you have an index.php file (and your server accepts it as the default).
