I put an index.html file and an index.php file in the root directory of my site together, when I navigate to my site, http://www.site.com, it serves the php file instead of the html file, my question is why? Why does it serve the php over html? Apache server.

    Check the DirectoryIndex directive of Apache.

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html

    For instance 

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

    Will try to serve first the html, if it doesn’t exist it will serve the php.
