changing default page for website

[zonda]

in the file manager i was wondering how do i change the page that first comes up when i enter my domains name

ex.. randomsite.pcriot.com

and a page you dont want to show up is displayed

[Christopher]

You would name that file index.html

[zonda]

well i supposed that would work but i already have a index.php

i just cant change my index.php cause all my pages are linking into it and i dont feel like changing the code on each of them

[Christopher]

Create a .htaccess file. Make sure you have view hidden files turned on.
Then put the following in it.
DirectoryIndex filename.html

Replace filename.html with the name of the file you want as your default page.

I have create a .htaccess page and put it in my public_html folder

In .htaccess I put

DirectoryIndex index.php

Only.

I still cant see my index.php page.

I require this for SMF

Edited to say that the problem has been fixed. I left it overnight and in the morning it was working fine.
