index.php as index?

[Sypher_5]

I'm trying to figure out how I set up Apache to first check for an index.php then index.shtml then index.html so it'll give the php then ssi index pages before an html index.

Thanks.

This is possible but is it wise? Why not have just one index page like every other site on the web?

[jatar_k]

the directive is DirectoryIndex, and it is the order of the extensions that is important

[httpd.apache.org...]

In the apache config file alter the DirectoryIndex

eg
DirectoryIndex index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm

Thanks everyone.

And because I have several sites that use different formats on my PC which I use for dev. I find it easier to navigate the site to check changes rather than move through the directores in Apache.
