The directory index page is the first page viewed if no specific page is requested on your site.
For example, if someone visits your site URL: http://www.example.co.za/ then the server will deliver what we call the "directory index"
The server will recognise any of the following files as a directory index:
- index.html
- index.htm
- index.shtml
- index.php
- index.php4
- index.php5
- index.cgi
- default.htm
- default.html
- home.html
- home.htm
