I am new at this so get your grain of salt out. Not sure if this is what
you mean. If using Apache there is an option tells apache to
automatically load a file when pointed to a directory.. I added
index.php to the list of files. Ex:

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php

Thanks in Advance...
