Hello,
If you have permission to edit the master configuration files then you
can edit the files httpd.conf and srm.conf file and do the following:
- Find this line. "DirectoryIndex index.html" and change it as follows:
"DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html". Of course, you can use any
filename you wish. I prefer to leave index.html as a valid index as
well.
- If you are unable to edit your master configuration files, you can use
this directive from .htaccess. Just edit the .htaccess file located in
your main HTML directory. If you do not have this file, feel free to
create it!
To change the default page, either edit the existing DirectoryIndex line
or add the following:
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html
This will make index.shtml the default page.
By using a .htaccess file in a subdirectory, you can specify a different
default page for that one directory without affecting the rest of your
site.

Thanks. I might try that.
One more question: How can I change the default page,
i.e., the one that displays when I just enter a path, from
index.html to something else?
Thanks again,
Michael
