make an index.html that points to index.php?

I'm using Redhat 8 and tried your circumstances, but did not have any problem getting it to recognize index.php. Like you said, I modified "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" and changed the line "DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var" to be "DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html.var". Then, I entered "service httpd restart" to restart apache. Then, I stuck the php file (index.php) in "/var/www/html". Now, when I enter my ip address in a browser ("http://10.10.10.1", for instance), I get the php file. I hope that helps. Otherwise, please provide more info as what you've stated (if you are putting the files in the correct place and changing the correct files and restarting the daemon), your setup should work, based upon the info given. Good luck.

Dear ribot & C_Leagend, Thanks for help me, I tried index.html which points to index.php it was working fine except one problem when I uses back button then my homepage's java script not works. Then I tried this in httpd.conf <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </IfModule> Thats all & it is working fine now. Well thanks for help again, Ravinder,
