Index.php instead of Index.html

[GamingX]

Hello everyone,
I had created a website with Dreamweaver before but after sometime I came to know about Joomla, so I installed Joomla, but in Joomla the index file is index.php, whereas I had previously uploaded index.html
, even though Joomla is installed in the public_www, when I open my website it opens up the index.html file, does X10hosting have an option so that index.php opens up?

If you rename/delete your index.html it should work, but if you want to keep it, edit your .htaccess file in that directory (you have to enable "View Hidden Files" in your file manager) to add this:

Directory Index index.php index.html  index.htm

I did that, and I could not access my site and kept getting some errors...So I rolled back the changes...

DirectoryIndex index.php

Make DirectoryIndex one word

Put that in your .htaccess file like *Face said.

btw .html files come above .php for some strange reason! so index.html will always show over a index.php file, unless you edit the .htaccess like everyone else said

you should try the redirects section in cpanel.... you can redirect yoursite.com or yoursite.com/index.html into yoursite.com/index.php
