conf httpd file?

What you will want to do is remove the index.html file from the htdocs/ folder.

 

However the httpd.conf file is is located in the conf/ folder where Apache is installed to.

im using apache2... im been reading up on how to change this but still not sure on where in the httpd

.conf file i need to change or add.

Look for a setting called DirectoryIndex to set with files get treated as index files.

 

The following is what it is set to by default:

DirectoryIndex index.html

 

If you want say, an index.php file to be treated as an index file. The change the line to this:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

 

Save the httpd.conf and restart Apache. Now if you place a index.php file in a directory Apache will show index.php automatically when you go the directory.
