Creating a index.php

[NCH52]

I have 2 php sites the first was loaded up for me by another company and they
left me a index.php that I could edit with Dreamweaver and start to create a
basic but editable index.php. The next site was loaded up by my hosting site
and there is no "enter here" page or index.php. It jumps straight to the
normal php forum page. When I try to edit the index.php I get all kinds of
error messages. Not good. I have got it back to normal but what can I do?
My sites are small and bad, but I need help. Please help.

Hi NCH52,

This is because normal.php is linked on a relative to different components
on your site. If you want to modify this behavior is moving the whole
forum under a folder.That way you can safely put an index.php and put
whatever content you want. Another concern is that if your hosting company
modify apache to have normal as opposed to index as the default site to
open, then you should rename it to normal.php (Sorry -- I didnt quite get
this part of your post).
