Default.php or index.php?

[Dr_Evil]

Hi,
The server that I am with requires that the home page is defined as index.php or html etc not default. (I have tried default.php) but it does not work. How can I change defult.php to index.php without getting file not found errors?

Thanks in advance,

Hi there,

Here are 3 different ways to do this, but more than likely, #3 is the one you want.

Choose ONLY ONE of these three, DO NOT do all three.

#1) If you have control of the server, add default.php to the DocumentIndex directive in your web server's config file (most common, but may not be the same for all).

#2) If you don't have control, but do have shell access (with telnet or ssh, etc.), then create a symbolic link with this:

ln -s default.php index.php

#3) If you don't have control, AND you don't have shell access, then rename default.php to index.php and change includes/application_top.php (around line 64) from this:

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'default.php');

to this:

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'index.php');

Hope it helps,

Thanks alot for that James. I have posted another semi related question to this. I was going to put it in here but it is a different issue so I started a new thread.

Thanks again.
