Safe to delete all the index.html if index.php located to a public_html inside the application ? - El Forum - 04-29-2011 [eluser]Rushino[/eluser] Hello, (Sorry if this is a stupid question) I was just wondering to be sure.. if it was safe to delete all the index.html if index.php is relocated to a public_html directory inside the application ? Thanks!

It's only safe to remove index.html files if you have another index file in there, or it's not in a publicly viewable web space.
