Topic: Changing Home Page

Hi, I'm newly registered. smile

I recently launched my new forum using punBB and I have to say it's absolutely fantastic.

However, I could do with some help.

I've created a separate home page which I would like displayed before the forum when entering the URL.

How can I get my visitors to be directed to home.php when entering the website's URL rather than index.php?

http://theparkproject.com/home.php
http://theparkproject.com/index.php

I've tried doing a search but couldn't find anything.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: Changing Home Page

or simply make the the page a html file, like index.html. html pages is shown before php.

Re: Changing Home Page

If you are an Apache user, you can edit the directive "DirectoryIndex" of httpd.conf. It will look like:

    DirectoryIndex home.php index.php index.htm index.html index.shtm index.shtml
