How do you set a directory's default file?

  • 772

Can I configure one specific directory on my webserver to use an atypical default file such as "default.php" instead of "index.php"? Do I have to create a ".htaccess" file in that dir?

apache-2.2 web-server directory defaults

    Yep, put the following in a .htaccess file:

    DirectoryIndex default.php

    And that will apply to that directory, and I think all subdirectories.

    This assumes you're using Apache; other webservers may have other conventions.
