How do I change the settings so that the html ext is used instead of the php ext on my dev computer running XAMPP?

I have tried adding 'addtype application/x-httpd-php .html' to the http.conf file. I have also tried using a .htaccess in the localhost root. But to no joy.

Can anyone help please?

Find these lines in the httpd.conf file and change the order so index.html or index.htm are the first entries in the line:

Code: Select all

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.phtml index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi index.pl index.html index.htm index.shtml
</IfModule>

The above order is from my httpd.conf file so yours may be different with index.php being the first in the line perhaps.

Save the file and restart Apache - don't forget to always make a back up of ini and conf files before editing.

BTW - Apache will load the first index file in the above order it finds in the Directory.
So if you don't want an index.php loaded, delete or rename it (index_original.php for example)and add your index.html in its place then there is no need to mess with the httpd.conf file also I have never known a need to have more than 1 index files in the same directory.
