i've never used a linux server, so if this seems like a stupid easy question, by all means, let me have it. in some of the windows admin programs its easy to set up all of the index files you want, like index.php, index.htm, or default.html...etc., but in cpanel, i have no clue how to do this

If you have index.php in a folder it will automatically display that page. Be careful with having index.htm and index.html files in that directory too.. Not sure the order, but quite often it opens index.htm first.

As to how to change it.. Not sure at all, never see an option to do it. Maybe an Apache setting?

DiscJockey

to make .php files work has .html files;

-log into your cpanel
-go to MIME Types
- add the following;
mime type=application/x-httpd-php
Extention(s)= html

The order goes like this:

index.php
index.htm

Well if you want to change the default documents you could use an .htaccess to define the <DirectoryIndex> directive I believe it is

so on one line of the .htaccess in the directory you want to modify, put something like

DirectoryIndex index.php index.asp index.cgi index.htm index.html

and it will look for those files in the order they are written, so index.php would be tried first, and index.html would be tried last
