Changing the index.php to home.php

I have been working on putting a standard splash page on my website. After looking up in the forum how to do this it was suggested to change the index.php --> home.php. The problem is when you are in the control panel and you click through with site home it can't find the index.php page... how do I change that to be home.php

Try index.html, that should come up first.

Hi Stuart038

the thing is I changed the index.php to home.php and have a index.html which carries my redirect cookie

Copy index.php to home.php. Truncate index.php. Add the follow code to index.php.

<?php header ("Location:home.php");
