[RESOLVED] index.php5 not opening as default

[conjurer]

Hi,

I have a page I loaded to my webserver which is running php5 and apache - I named it index.php5

If I go to the URL without the filename in it, I can see the folder directory instead of the index file. Perhaps it is because of the php5 extension? Is there something I need to put in the directory to force people to the index page?

Thanks

Example:

http://mywebsite.com/directrory/index.php5 < Opens just the page

http://mywebsite.com/directrory/ < Opens entire folder revealing contents

If running on Apache, you can set this via a .htaccess file, either in that directory to only affect it, or in your web root directory to affect it and all its sub-directories.

.htaccess

DirectoryIndex index.php index.php5 index.html index.htm

Substitue whatever filenames you want to use as default files, in decreasing order of precedence.

PS: if you want to disable the file listing if there is no default file in a directory, add this line to the .htaccess file:

Options -Indexes
