== Apache: ==
The ''DirectoryIndex'' directive sets the     list of resources to look for, when the client requests an index of the directory by specifying a / at the end of the directory name.

The default ''DirectoryIndex'' looks like this and will search for pages in this order in your ''DocumentRoot''.

{{{
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
}}}
If you want to use a override this you can set this in your .htacess file.  The below entry would set newindex.html as the first page it would match

{{{
DirectoryIndex newindex.html index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
}}}

== Tomcat: ==

  Tomcat uses a welcome-file-list found in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml.  You can modify this to suite your needs.  Below is the default values.

{{{
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
}}}
