index .. can it be .php ?

**bcinelli** · March 16th, 2005, 5:50 PM

Ok i have an index.html running my site right now .. so when you visit http://dirtydalerz.com it goes to that file .. but now i want it to go to a index.php file .. if i delete the index.html .. can i just put the index.php in its place and will it automatically pick up or do i have to use a redirect?

i think you have to use a redirect... or have on of the admins add this:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>

to the httpd.conf file... unless they've already done it because of so many people using an index.php instead of an index.html

you could also put this in your index.html file:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=index.php">
</HTML>

that might be easier... i think that'll work.

**bcinelli** · March 16th, 2005, 6:06 PM

so if i just delete my index.html from the www folder .. and put my index.php file in there .. it won't pick it up automatically?

there's a chance it won't... won't know until you try it. if it doesn't work, you can try the stuff that i posted or just redirect your index.html to index.php in your control panel.

If there is no index file but 'index.php' that will be the file used as default when one browses your site.

Yep, the only time you may have problems is if someone had index.html included in their bookmark.
