I've successfully done this sort of thing in a couple of ways. For your scenario, I'd probably try this as first choice: Alias / /dir/to/scripts/index.php/ <Directory "/dir/to/scripts/"> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php </Directory> This should invisibly inject a reference to "index.php/" for all requests to your site --note that it does NOT use DefaultType. (/dir/to/scripts can be your DocumentRoot if that's where index.php is!) There are several variations on this, using AliasMatch and, yes, DefaultType in various combinations, but I'd recommend this as the simplest route to get *all* references to your site to be passed through /index.php without actually mentioning it in your URLs.
