Apache and setting php files as default

jskier · 2003-09-11 04:08:10

I'm an ex-IIS administrator, and have a simple question for you...
I finally got everything with Apache, php, sql running smoothly- however, how do I set Apache to recognize index.php instead of index.html?

Thanks in advance,
JSkier

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but try adding the following to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

and

<Directory /home/httpd/htdocs/phptestdirectory >
    DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

and also, don't forget to add APACHE_OPTS="-D PHP4" to /etc/conf.d/httpd

<Directory /home/httpd/htdocs/phptestdirectory > 
    DirectoryIndex index.php 
</Directory>

This is what I want, however, is there a way to make this global, so that all directories under html look for index.php?

Thanks again,
JSkier

Try using

DirectoryIndex index.php

just by itself (not inside directory tags).

As I was about to put that line in I found the actual setting for it here:

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>

Sooner or later I'll purchase a beginners book on Apache :mrgreen:

Thanks once again,
