in google typed in: htaccess index, and got first link
Fun with .htaccess
going down to "Change Your Default Home Page"
and you can use this
Code:
DirectoryIndex hieronymous.html index.cgi index.php index.html
basically you're telling apache to look for hieronymous.html first as your index if not found then index.cgi then index.html :)
I figured out this solution while using portal mod for phpbb2 back the days and i was wondering how they got portal.php as default and not index.php so looked in htaccess and figured it out :p .... and from that day i try to figure things by configuring htaccess and so far happy with that
you can do ip banning, hotlink protection, username/password protection, SEO and more :) I'm telling you man go learn more of htaccess you'll have tons of fun
Good Luck
