Hello everybody,

I’ve installed Expression Engine in its own directory, not in the root domain directory, like this: “http://www.example.com/blog/index.php”.

If its main/index page in that directory is named “index.php”, do I also need an “index.html” page with a redirect to the “index.php” page?

If I don’t use an “index.html” page in the directory, will browsers automatically load “index.php”, or will users see an open directory? How can I ensure browsers will always, without fail, load “index.php”?

Thanks everyone!

No, you don’t need a redirect. You can actually configure what your server returns if you access the URL as such, or a subcategory. “index.html”, “index.htm” and “index.php” are loaded by default, if I remeber correctly. So, yes, your server should automatically serve index.php in the absence of index.html. Just try it out, if you like.

Thank you!

Glad you’re all set. Closing.
