Re: Show index.php instead of index.html

Contact your hosting provider and ask them to make the change, or go through your control panel and look for a setting that will achieve the desired effect. It's probably hiding under your nose, as this is a fairly common requirement for data-driven sites. In the meantime, upload a new index.html file with the following in the <head> section: <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=index.php"> This will immediately send users to the index.php file while you resolve the configuration issues.
