defaulting index.php

Hi all Im new here. I used to have a very large forum several years ago with many thousands of members and tens of millions of page views but the software became very old and Facebook became a pain in the proverbial so I shut it down. However times have changed and people are a bit sick of facebook now so I am trying to recreate a new forum and re engage with many of my past members using this software.. In setting up I cant seem to have my domain name default to the index.php .. I haven't struck this before..maybe Im just not seeing the solution hahhaha so if anyone has an idea it would be much appreciated.

This is a misconfiguration of the web server, unrelated to XMB.

For example, an Apache server should come with a server-level configuration file that specifies the DirectoryIndex directive. If you are in a shared environment with only .htaccess configuration available, then the DirectoryIndex directive can be added to that file instead.
