Just rename forum.php to index.php in your local folder and upload it to your server.

so that you have two forum folders on your server. 1 named index.php and the other forum.php.

but keep a copy of original index.php for just in case

that should help

And if he want keep index.php

... lol !
put this in your .htaccess:

Code: [Hide]

DirectoryIndex forum.php index.php

(try to redirect to forum.php, and if forum.php return an 404 error go on index.php ;D)
