    Hi,

    I have a strange situation where even though my home page has a title and description in the html, all I see in the results is it listed as index.php and not the title in the html or the description. google 'perfect drug rx' I come up first. Can anyone help me fix this? please :) I have no idea whats wrong.

    Thanks
    Sane

    OK so my home page needs php. If I remove the re-direct I'm stuck with the default .html file. How does everyone else get around this issue? Surely there are hundreds of thousands of sites that do this, or work around it. How do I fix this?

    Thanks

    If you get rid of index.html and leave index.php, index.php is the default tpage that will show up when you go to the root TLD, in this case, http://www.perfectdrugrx.com/

    You can change the default directory index file in htaccess. Change it to the php file.
