Can I rename my index.php (phpBB2) to something else?

[MaxDSP]

I just installed it on my website, but i dont want it to have a generic name like index.php. Right now, its /phpBB2/index.php

Can I also change that folder name without problems?

Yes, you just have to make sure that all pages using that file know where to find it instead.
Don't change the extension though, else browsers will (try to) look at it differently.

For phpBB2 I recommend you do not change the index.php file. There's too many other files that use it.

May I ask why you want to rename it?

well, for example, rallispec's forums have a /forums2/index.php, but mine is www.mydomain.com/phpBB2/index.php. Would it be better if I just renamed the phpBB2 folder to something meaningful, like /forums/index.php?

you mean the directory and not the file? if it's just the directory then yeah, i'm sure you could do that.

well the index.php you should leave as is.

the directory you can name it whatever you want. If you take a look at my forum the directory is forums, that's why it's bigrash.com/forums
