Hi,

You can do this through .htaccess (http://service.FutureQuest.net/kb121). These threads should help:

Okee Dokley thanks

Simply rename index.html to index.php. The server already recognizes the latter as a default index file name.

The server already recognizes the latter as a default index file name.Correct. To clarify, if you don't have an index.html file (or index.shtml, index.shtm, index.htm), the server will automatically see index.php as the "default" (i.e. no need for an .htaccess directive in that case):

do i need to nest the html in <? ?>'s ? I didn't think I had to do that

Im changing it back to .html till I figure out whats wrong

[kitchin]

No, do not nest the html in <? ?>. Also, if index.php fails (blank page), then start testing by uploading an index.php without any <?php ?> tags. If that works, then start adding them back in. Learning, fun.

I see that I need to make an .htaccess file. Sometimes it takes me awhile

I removed the xml tag that the wsywig put in at the top of the page.
Then I renamed it to index.html and all is now well, go figure
