You can redirect your index.html to index.php


<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="7; URL=___your new URL goes here___">

<base href="___your new URL goes here___">

There are a couple other ways to do it as well with .htacess files on apache or javascript. Do a web search on html redirect or forwarding.

Or ask your host why they can't add index.php as one of the defaults. Ask them nicely to add index.php to the list since this would be your best option.

Here's how you can do it with an .htaccess file. This will only work if the server uses Apache, and if Apache is configured appropriately.


DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html

Hi.
Thankyou very much
The server is IIS, so I'll stick to the first option:

Hi
I guess this must be very simple, but how do I "tell" XOOPS to go to the index.php file, in stead of the main foler when clicking the logo. If it simply arrives to the main folder nothing is shown, as the index.php is not setted as the main file.

Have a nice day! and thankyou for your help.

Edit your theme.html file, that is where you find the place where your logo is and you can edit the url to make the logo go to any place you want when it's clicked.
