if you are running apache2 then you can check your /etc/apache/httpd.conf file for the following line<br />
<br />
&lt;IfModule dir_module&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm<br />
&lt;/IfModule&gt;<br />
<br />
Adding index.cgi behind the index.htm should cause apache to look for index.html if it doesn't find it, then it will look for index.htm, then if it doesn't find that, it will look for index.cgi ...<br />
<br />
Hopefully that is what you are looking for.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
