DirectoryIndex DirectoryIndex on Apache. I wanted to set my site up so index.php becomes the default page for a site instead of index.html. As is often with Apache, seemingly simple configuration settings involve multiple steps. The main setting is DirectoryIndex, but you also have to "allow" it through a directory option. The option is of course "Indexes" instead of "DirectoryIndex" which would seem more obvious. The following works for me: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.omnicode.com DocumentRoot /home/mydir/sites/omnicode ErrorLog logs/omnicode.com-error_log <DIRECTORY /home/mydir/sites/omnicode/> OPTIONS Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </DIRECTORY> DirectoryIndex index.php </VirtualHost>
