Setting Directory Index for reseller

[smartocci]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set index.php as the default page for one of the sites I host. I have already logged in as root and checked the httpd.conf file and index.php is listed as one of the document indexs, but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

bump, this is kinda important. If anyone could help me out that would be great. I'm just not sure why the settings in the httpd.conf woudln't work for this user.

Did you try putting:

DirectoryIndex index.php

in an .htaccess file in the main dir of this site? (well same dir as index.php)


I would think settings in the httpd.conf would work over the htaccess, and they are preferred over htacess since there's a bit of a performance hit for htaccess commands. Mebbe there was a typo or something?

Did you restart apache after making these changes to httpd.conf?

Make sure that there are no other index files in his public_html directory. The DirectoryIndex list goes in order, so if index.html is listed before index.php and he has an index.html and an index.php file, the index.html will load first.
