Or, if you don't have access to the main httpd.conf file, just put a DirectoryIndex line in a .htaccess file in your root folder that lists all possible indexes, followed by your default front page:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.htm index.php index.php3 /index.php So, if non of the first 5 file names are found in the directory, Apache will redirect to your front page (assumption is your frontpage is called index.php, if it's not, change the last value, but leave the /).
