it's really simple.. with .htaccess

hi,

simple create a file named ".htaccess" in the folder where you can to create DirectoryIndex rule.

copy and paste following line in .htaccess file

DirectoryIndex default.html index.html index.cgi index.php

note: everything after DirectoryIndex is priority. ie in above example " default.html " is first priority " index.html" is second.

in your case you just can put below line and it should be fine:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

If you are using windows:
1. make sure that your file name is correct " .htaccess " cause windows doesn't allow to create file extension starting with " . " , that is dot
2. quick way is, first create htaccess.txt , do your requirement and finally go to " cmd " > navigate to your folder location and rename file from " htaccess.txt " to " .htaccess "

good luck...
