Okay, I added those three lines to my
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename.conf file:
.
.
.
DirectoryIndex index.html
# DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
.
.
.
and restarted Apache2.
Now when I browse to sitename.org, I get the index.html file, and when I
browse to sitename.org/index.php, I still get the index.html file. So
nothing has changed.
I'm still doing something wrong?

I'd be happy to go the .htaccess route, but at this point, I don't have a
clue as to where to begin with this information you've provided. I think
you've only demonstrated that .htaccess has complexity, not that you've
demonstrated the specific complexity I'm needing to reach my goal?
Thanks!
