index.php instead of index.htm

[Conrad]

Hi All,

I am using the template from homeweatherstation and to see it properly i have to use www.dreamhills-2.com/weather/index.php but obviously if people go to www.dreamhills-2.com/weather then they see the basic webpage how can i get it to look at the index.php page

There are various ways of doing this.

if you have access to httpd.conf if your using apache like mine, then edit the line:

Code: Select all

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>

this will default the main page to index.php and not index.htm.

you could also use .htaccess file.

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html 

index.php will be loaded first.
