Do you need to redirect any .html file to the corresponding .php file? or are you trying to have Apache show a php page when you don't specify one (i.e., http://domain.com/ would load index.php).

Instead of redirecting, you may get the result you're looking for by adding index.php to the DirectoryIndex directive in your httpd.conf file.

Ok, aside from the bad english, which I know can be a hard laguage to learn. (Most Americans dont speek proper english :P)

This post should have been posted in the Apache forum. You would get a faster and better response if it were in that forum.

If for a specific page:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=index.php">
If for all, look for DirectoryIndex and add index.php to the list.

I'm wondering why you want a redirect rather than modifying your httpd.inc

You don't want a redirect. You want a "Rewrite rule". Post this question in the Apache forum and ask how to do this with mod_rewrite.

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /index.php [L]

Drop that in a .htaccess file and put in directory. Should work...

I'm still trying to figure out why we can't just change the DirectoryIndex ???
Code:
# .htaccess
DirectoryIndex index.php

Question just wondering
will that rewrite work if we go to a directory

http://somedomain.com/

Will that take us to index.html, and then redirect to index.php?

Lets try

Trying

YES - it will also hide the page. So, if your site address is this ->

somesite.com

And the request is that, and your index is index.html - using the rewrite you can do this ->
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /some_dir/blah/blah/blah/index.php [L]

The request would be sent to somesite.com/some_dir/blah/blah/blah/index.php but would actually show the address as somesite.com...

Sorry but that is extremely debatable given your recent thread
