Hi,

Is it possible to make my index page a .php page? for some reason my FTP is not recognizing it...it keeps defaulting back to the .html page...any ideas?

Index pages are used by web browsers to know what to display when no page name is specified on the URL.

FTP is used for transferring files back and forth.

These things don't relate to each other in any way. I guess I'm confused... what are you trying to do?

If you mean you want to have the index.php set as the default page to load...

Simply add this line to the .htaccess file..

DirectoryIndex index.php

Just insert into notepad and save as .htaccess and remember to change the save as type option to All files

Then just upload to server

Hope this helps

Some web hosts include index.php in the index search order (or whatever it is called). If they do, all you will have to do is remove any other index. file and it should default to index.php.

Yes, I think index.html will be used first, then index.php

As Calash pointed out, simply remove the .html page and the php page should get displayed.

Just remove all the other default pages and set only index.php page...

It searches in the order u have in the config file like index.html,default.html and more...
