If you're running apache, you can use a .htaccess file, something like this:

Options All -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

search google for htaccess tutorial and you will find plenty of free (and easy!) tutorials to help you out. In this example, its the last line in the codeblock above that tells the server to use index.php. it could be any file you want, not necessarily index.<something>.

hope this helps.

or in .htaccess write :

DirectoryIndex index.php

same results both ways
