How to make a .php page the default
Author
I had a .html page called index.html on my site, but now Ive changed it to index.php file and it no longer displays automatically. How do I get it to display automatically like index page?
Do you run the server?

In your config file locate the "DirectoryIndex" line - add index.php there.

I just scanned all the files for the server and none of them contain a line with 'DirectoryIndex' in it, is it somewhere special?
[EDIT]
oh wait, i got something here, 1 sec
[EDIT AGAIN]
Ok i found this line
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
now should I comment it out and make it
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php.var ?
I just tried adding the line (above) and saving it, it didnt work. Then I commented out the origional line and put the php line, but it still didnt work. Hmm.
Thanks for the quicke reponses, you got me on the right track, thanks.

If you are using Apache 1 or 2:
go the root dir where you installed it
go to the conf/ dir
open httpd.conf
on about line 326, you will have somthing like this:
add index.php to the end of that string:
restart Apache
edit: yours might look a litle diferent, but the directive (DirectoryIndex) is the same.

## DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory# is requested.## The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-# negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the# same purpose, but it is much slower.#DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var add index.php to the end of that string:
#DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php restart Apache
