BTW: there is at leats one apache group that would be your best bet for  
apache setup questions.

Look in http.conf (for me that's /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf). 
 
I think "DirectoryIndex" is probably what you want to investigate.

huh? 
 
If you setup the php module in apache then (normally) the extension .php  
will be recognized by apache as indicating a file containing php. 
 
: Pagenames with a ".php" extension do work. Thanks much. 
 
There you go, just like I said but I hadn't read this far.  Apache is 
recognizing .php as php, and .html as html, correctly, just like you want 
(though you don't realize that yet). 
 
I am pretty sure the "DirectoryIndex" in your http.conf file is what you 
are looking for.
