    Php has to be on the remote server and you have to have access to the Apache configuration file httpd.conf. The line in httpd.conf that covers the index file begins:

    DirectoryIndex

    You would have to have something like

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

    You would also have to have a mimetype entry something like:

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    hmmmmm the above post over my head, mmmmm have ya tried deleting the old index.htm and see if it usees the .php one instead, works for me on a few other sites i was messin around with. If not ya could put a redirect on .htm. Guess its the simple way :) give it a go i guess if the above doesn't work.

    most web hosts have it set up to recognise index.php already.

    but you said "Index.php" which would work on an apache running on a windows machine, being case insensitive. Have you tried simple renaming it to "index.php" to make it work for a unix machine running apache?
