File other than index.php as default

Hi,

My Setup...
I have C5 installed on the root of a domain [www.domain.com/index.php]. I dont want the site live while it is in development, so i have a "cover page" in front of it [www.domain.com/index.html].I have .htaccess setting html as prioity over php, so the html gets called by the browser first - perfect.

My Problem...
When i send the link to the under construction site [index.php] to my client and they click on the "Home" link in the autonav they get pushed back to the base url only [www.domain.com], and not a specific filename [www.domain.com/index.php].

My question...
Can i change the C5 default page to index2.php [if so how]? or can i change the default setting for the home link in the autonav?

Thanks in advance C5ers!
Ian

you can do this if you modify your sourcecode.. it might be easy, but I never tried since I always try to avoid having two things at the same place...

but you can also use some host name check, some fancy url rewriting or simply create a new subdomain which is what I do all the time...

my host has a nice option that lets me create a folder called sub.domain.tld.
