Setting an initial webpage...

[Ncatdesigner]

How can I set an initial webpage.

Let's say I put this file called something.html in a folder named bin, inside the www folder.

Every time anypne access to mydomain.com this should be the page to see. I want this webpage in this folder, I want not move it.

Create a basic HTML file, name it index.html, and place it in your public_html folder in your account. Now whenever someone visits yourdomain.com, it will see that default page (or home page, as it's sometimes called).

Can we change the default to "index.php", or "default.html"?

Thanks

Edit the .htaccess file under public_html, and add a line telling the server which file name you want as the home page.

Example:

DirectoryIndex index.php

or

DirectoryIndex default.html

or even

DirectoryIndex somethingelse.html

I'd forgotten which file it was. For anyone with subdomains, place it under:

/public_html/subdomain/.htaccess
