Placing the DirectoryIndex command in your htaccess file will cause this to happen: When a user types in yoursite.com, your site will look for filename.php in your root directory (or any directory if you specify this in the global [FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]htaccess[/FONT][/FONT]), and if it finds it, it will load that page as the default page. If it does not find filename.php, it will then look for index.html; if it finds that one, it will load it, if not, it will look for index.shtml etc. and the whole process repeats until it finds a file it can use. * Basically, the list of files is read from left to right.
