home page is going to index.php instead of home.html. What did I do wrong?

Permalink
I think I did something wrong. I just transferred domains.

I got Concrete5 installed. I have got a home page worked up. It is going to Index.php as I looked to find it. But my website at ipage seems to be set up for HOME.html.

Is there something I am not doing right? Do I need to move something in the program? if so what? Can someone PLEASE help me? Thanks.

Wanda

I have same problem. Go to my domainname.com and instead of my designed page, up comes "index of/ " How do I get this to open to my home page? I'm thinking it should not be necessary to redirect, but going to "domainname.com" should open my home page directly. Help please. Walt

Wanda, have you got it solved, or still a problem?
I have the answer, from my host's chat service.

(6:07:43pm)Thomas R.:Okay, it has to do with the .htaccess
(6:07:55pm)Walt:OK
(6:08:10pm)Thomas R.:You will need to add on the first line inside the .htaccess as following:

DirectoryIndex index.php

Here is what I did:
Go to your cPanel, go to File Manager, Open the Folder for your site, click on .htacess, and click on Edit in the top tool bar. Add the words DirectoryIndex index.php and Save Changes.

That did it for me. Hope it works as easily for you.
