x.com=x.com/index.cgi=x.com/index.php

how do i make my server to recognize
mydomain.com to go to mydomain.com/index.php
also mydomain.com/something/ to go to mydomain.com/something/index.cgi

does it have to do with .htaccess?

Add:

DirectoryIndex index.cgi

To your .htaccess file.

yeah, with .htaccess. to have different extensions [like .php, .cgi, etc]:


DirectoryIndex index.php index.cgi and so on...

the extension that appears higher in the list will have priority... so with the format above, if a directory has both an index.php and index.cgi, index.php will be loaded because it came before index.cgi in the .htaccess file.

so if you'd want index.php to load, don't upload an index.cgi file to that directory as well

if you want index.cgi to load, don't upload an index.php file to that directory. simple.
