wildteen88 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
