just create an html file titled index.html and upload it to the directory.

That or, rename the file to index.html

[abhi666]

which joomla file should i rename?

[leafypiggy]

you have to have the joomla in the main directory. or make the index file a php file and put this code.

[php]
<PHP?
include("yourjoomlafolder/index.php")
?>
[php]

If you want Joomla to be accessible from the root web directory, why not just install there?

You could also redirect the end user to the main page of your installation of Joomla by uploading a file called index.php to your "public_html" directory, which contains the line:

<?php header("location: http://yourDomain.com/pathToJoomla/index.php"); ?>

There's an easy way to do this.
Just create a .htaccess in the directory and add the following line :-

DirectoryIndex index.php

It's that simple, well that just came out of the top of my head so i hope the code is right...

thank u all for the responses
Actually i thought of installing joomla in the root itself but i have gone with a separate directory. I have prepared the site almost so couldn't start again and so i asked this ques.
Well I got it know, i have uploaded the index.php file with the code given aboove to my public_html directory.
once again thank u all
