INDEX.PHP and INDEX.HTM

[Unknown]

I'm trying to make my site which has the phpBB forum in the root directory to open index.htm before index.php. It worked in my other site but this one won't take me to index.htm but to index.php when I open it.

Here is the link.

It's usually in this order, index.html index.php index.htm, so rename the extension on index.htm to html and see if that works

If you installed the forum into your root directory it more than likely added an .htaccess file which would have a command in it to override what the default page is for that directory. Look for a file called .htaccess and look for a line like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Either remove the index.php to stop it from being the default page or change the order and put it last.

Used the .htaccess method and had index.html first.
