I would like to change the default web page that shows up when I browse my site. I currently have a reporting program running, and it outputs a file called index.html. I cannot change what it calls the file. Therefore, my landing page must be called something else. Right now, when I browse my site it takes me to the reporting page.
From what I see, whatever you call index.html it will pull that up as your default. I want to change that to landing.html. How do I do this?
I am a folder (Folding @ Home). The reporting program is HFM.net. HFM can output an html file with my current folding statistics. It names the html file index. I do not want that to be my default home page. I would like a menu-like landing where I can choose if I want to see my stats, or something else. The website is at /home/tyler/Documents/hfm/website (landing.html and hfm's index.html are here). Apache2 is in its default directory.
I'm also running Ubuntu 13.04.
You can also set DirectoryIndex in apache's httpd.conf file.
CentOS keeps this file in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Debian: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Open the file in your text editor and find the line starting with DirectoryIndex
To load landing.html as a default (but index.html if that's not found) change this line to read:
DirectoryIndex landing.html index.html
