the default for .com right now is index.php

how can i keep my index.php in the root, but have index.htm load by default?

Thanks!

If the web server is Apache, it is simple. Just change the DirectoryIndex directive like this:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php

If you want index.php to be the default when more than one exists, you would do it like this:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm default.asp

This can be configured in the following areas: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess.

More details can be found here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod...directoryindex.
