I did see the directory index in the httpd.conf file, but let me explain a bit more about what I am trying to do. Basically I am waiting for the client to pay me...till he does, I am displaying the index page which is a under construction page...but he also wants to play with the site so I need to direct all calls to main.php...but i dont want to show the client that he is going to main.php so I wanted to use it like this clientssite.com/?do=blah Thanks, Ryan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
