If you have mod_rewrite installed - put the following in your .htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^index\.html$ index.php [L] That will cause index.php to be called when index.html is requested. If you want it to forward to index.php then use [R] instead of [L] If you want all .html to be sent to php equivalents - RewriteRule (^.*)\.html$ $1.php [L] should do the trick. btw - with those rules, the .html files do not need to exist. If/ when they are requested, whether they exist or not, the link or redirect is made. mod_rewrite rocks Thanks to you both Michael & Dan, I must not have mod-rewrite installed (I am 98% uneducated about apache/server admin). I will save your post though MIchael, for when I get more to that level.. you gave a good lead. Meanwhile, Dan you gave me the quick fix lead I was after. DirectoryIndex index.php works.

Govinda wrote: Dear list-members I am using what I assume is a pretty standard cPanel setup (?) I would like to be able change the mime types/extension so that ".html" gets sent through the PHP interpreter, but I see the cPanel docs say "...(note that you can not alter the system defined mime type values)..". So as a workaround, I need to *at least* be able to change the default file to return to the browser when someone hits my domain (or a subdirectory) without specifying the page in that dir/ to load. I cannot find where in cPanel to set that. The default now is the standard "index.html".I want to change it to "index.php". I realize this is really basic stuff, but I can't find it in my cPanel. Can someone point me to this? -Govinda If you have mod_rewrite installed - put the following in your .htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^index\.html$ index.php [L] That will cause index.php to be called when index.html is requested.

It's nothing to do with PHP, nor cPanel, really. -- daniel.br...@parasane.net || danbr...@php.net http://www.parasane.net/ || http://www.pilotpig.net/ Ask me about our fully-managed servers and proactive management clusters starting at just $200/mo.! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
