jamescalvin Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hey Freaks, Hopefully this is a simple fix. Right now, when someone goes to my site, they currently go to mysite.com/index.php but instead, I would like it to go to mysite.com/index.html but I have no clue how that's done. Can someone help me out with this one? I did a search, but I don't even know what that's called so I couldn't really find anything.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 This is a function of the webserver, not PHP. Which web server are you using?Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 its an apache setting - it looks for files in a certain order - normally index.html index.htm index.php but your server clearly has index.phpYou may be able to alter this in a .htaccess file (not sure what the flag u need is) other wise its asking your hosts to help out adn tell you haw to achive your goal.You could always remove your index.php file or rename it index2.php - if you have coded robustly this should be easy to achieve and updateable for the rest of the site.

Swords Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Make a .htaccess file in the directory you want it to affect and put this line in it:[code]DirectoryIndex index.html index.php[/code]This will have it direct to index.html first, and index.php if index.html isn't found. Note that it will affect all subdirectories of the directory you place it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescalvin Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 If I already have a .htaccess file, can I just add that bit of code in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
