index.shtml

[Big Ass Robot]

What do I have to write in .htaccess that will point my domain (ex. http://www.mydomain.com) to "index.shtml" instead of "index.html" whenever the URL is typed in?

just put index.shtml in your root directory and it works, you don't have to do anything. I use index.php

I think this is the answer to your question, but if it isn't I'm sure someone else will help you. I'm not posting much, don't you see?!

You do have to do something, unless it's already been done for you. :)

Add this to your .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.shtml
