how to make ovh run my website from index.html and not index.php?

i change an already existing website who is hosting by OVH

there was a little bit of php but i changed it because the website doesn't need a back-end server to run, front-end javascript is good enough I would like the web site to start with my index.html file because the index.php doesn't need to exist anymore, but I don't know how to do that

I tried to remove the .htaccess and the .ovhconfig because i thought they was usefull only for the php, and it broke nothing (good to begin) but it doesn't helped for my problem

the .ovhconfig content :

app.engine=php
app.engine.version=5.4
http.firewall=none
environment=production

the .htaccess content :

SetEnv PHP_VER 5_TEST
SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0

(there is another .htacess file with the same content in the parent folder)

Solution

  • Add this line to your .htaccess:

    DirectoryIndex index.html

    As it's described here: https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/hosting/what_else_can_you_do_with_the_htaccess_file/
