I am using two methods to change Index page in public_html and any folders as wanted.

Method 1:
Open your Apache configuration file httpd.conf

Code:

nano httpd.conf

Find out line that read as follows:

Code:

DirectoryIndex

Now set it as per your requirements:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm index.php index.pl

Save and close the file.

Method 2:

Putting this code into .htaccess file

Code:

DirectoryIndex firstpage.html index.htm index.html index.php

I hope it helps will help you!

I like the method #2, thanks @karlkoeller for sharing these tips!

But the method #1 can affect to all websites on the sever without configuring more on some specific websites/accounts.
