How do you change your main page to another page?

 

For example; If I didn't want to use a page that says index as the main page any more. I googled and failed.

I use a program called "FTP Surfer".

 

 

Anyone else know how to change it?

 

Thankies <3

If your server is Apache, then you upload a file called ".htaccess" (no file name, just a dot to start)

 

Inside it you put:

DirectoryIndex first-file-to-see.html next-file.cgi somethinelse.php index.htm

 

What this tells the server is when someone looks at your domain (or a folder, if you've placed it in there) to load first-file-to-see.html but it's not there, try next-file.cgi... and so on.

 

Thanks. I'll give it a try. =D

Or you can use a redirect no? a javascript meta redirect?

You could do, but you'd still need a page called index to redirect, using the .htaccess you don't.
