Hi Ted,

Most servers will look for a "default" page when you link to "/" or "../" for example. I don't remember the priority but let's say they look for a index.htm and if that doesn't work maybe next a index.html, then an index.php etc. - unless you specify your default page at a server level.

My first thought would be that I would never "get rid of" an existing or historical /index.html page, even if my default was /index.htm because someone (years before you took over the website) linked to /index.html and those links would be lost to a "not found" page.

In your case I would delete the index.htm and index.html pages and set up the server to redirect these pages to "/" or "../" and set the server up to supply the content on "default.htm" whenever someone tried to open "/".

Cheers,
Paz.
