You'll have to edit your apache configuration.

1) Become root:
#su -
Password:

2) you'll need to find the 'DirectoryIndex' directive either in:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf  or
/etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf

and edit this (or the other) file:
# pico /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf

(back it up before editing by:
# cp /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf-dist
)

3) Here can add any kind of index file you want, for example:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml home.html home.htm index.php
index.php3 index.phps index.phtml
(your mileage may vary...)

4) Save this file (ctrl-x) and restart your web server:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

5) Done :-)

Hendrik
