php index pages

[_off_axis_]

i installed apache (version 1.3.28) and php (forgot version) and it all works, i can view .php pages how they should be viewed, the problem is that if I have a directory with index.php and no index.html, it shows the directory folders and doesn't load the index.php page. When I click on the index.php page it goes to it and prints it out how it should be. Is there something I have to configure to make it automatically know that index.php takes the place of index.html as the index page?

thanks for any help

Open httpd.config file and locate

DirectoryIndex

Place the following indexes in there

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.html default.htm index.html.var index.php index.php3
