====== Problem ======

Some remote hosting services accept as start page only "index.php". That's a problem if you wish to set up a DokuWiki..

====== Question ======

Is it possible to rename "doku.php" to "index.php"?  What are the needed changes to the DokuWiki structure?

===== Answer ====
Don't rename ''doku.php'', create the file, ''index.php'', with the following contents.
<code php>
<?php
// tell dokuwiki to make all links using index.php rather than doku.php
define('DOKU_SCRIPT','index.php');

// jump to main dokuwiki script
include('doku.php');
?>
</code>

This has the advantage of allowing you to upgrade your Dokuwiki installation without any additional changes - as long as ''doku.php'' and ''DOKU_SCRIPT'' remain unchanged.  A viable alternative is

<code php>
<?php
/**
 * Forwarder to doku.php
 *
 * @license    GPL 2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html)
 * @author     Andreas Gohr <andi@splitbrain.org>
 */
header("Location: doku.php");
?></code>
