Make Starting Page Something Besides Index.htm?

[vertekal]

When someone goes to my site, I want the first page they see to be something besides index.htm. How can I change the default index page?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi,

 

You can not edit the master config files, but you can do this instead. Edit your .htaccess file and add:

 

DirectoryIndex filename.fileextention filename1.fileextention

 

E.g.

 

DirectoryIndex WhoamI.php Hello.html

 

Then when you go to your site, people will see whoami.php, if the browser does not understand php or its not working, the next one comes along, hello.html and so forth down the line

Excellent! Thank you!

 

I just did that, and it worked perfectly. When visitors enter my site, they see my flash intro (flashintro.htm) , and when they click past it, they get to the site itself (index.htm).
