How to change default page url? [SOLVED]

Hi
I have "a landing page" on a site where to choose a language. Landing page's url is
www.exampledomain.com/index.html and the official site url is
www.exampledomain.com/index.php.
Now the automatic url of default page is
www.exampledomain.com which means that it directs to the language choosing page.
Is there any way to fix the default page url to direct the visitor to
www.exampledomain.com/index.php instead of
www.exampledomain.com/index.html?

Pera,
I dont quite understand what you want, dont you want the landingpage anymore, so that people start at the index.php page. That might already happen, when you remove the index.html. Than the index.php will be first pulled.
Another thing is to use a redirect,
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
</head>
</__body>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=index.php">
<__body>
</__html>
But as stated, I dont see exactly what you try to achieve.....

I dont quite understand what you want
Sorry for bad explanation.
So, I want to have the landing page.
Example of the menu that CMS creates
- Homepage (this is the default page)
- Services
- Products
- Contact
Now, when I try to go to Homepage (not to the landingpage) eg. from contact page, the menu creates the url of homepage
www.exampledomain.com instead of
www.exampledomain.com/index.php
So, when I click
Homepage on the menu I don't go to the Homepage but to the Landingpage.
My question is, how to fix the menu so, that the url of Homepage would be
www.exampledomain.com/index.php instead of
www.exampledomain.com
I hope you understand what I mean

set some other page as the default page (the default page will always get the root_url as its link)
or use "link" content type for the page.
or check through the svn commits, I think it was changed somewhere around 1.1.1

Hello,
This is not CMSms specific. This is a setting of the webserver. Please read the
Apache's manual about DirectoryIndex to put php before html.

Best bet is to make default home as a link to index.php...

Thanks to everybody for help!
I solved the problem by creating a new content page that I set as default page. Then I changed the menu item type from content page to link that direct to index.php. Now there isn't set any default page (because menu link cant't be set as default page) but nevertheless the index.php direct to the first content page on the menu structure.
