 * I seem to have a strange problem. I recently changed hosting accounts to IX web
   hosting. I installed the latest version of wordpress no problem. Howerver – on
   my past host I could install the wordpress in the root directory and still keep
   the index.html of the old site. As I worked on the new wordpress template I could
   simply check it by typing my site.com/index.php and my browser would go to the
   new site – however this time when I type in my site.com/index.php it automatically
   redirects to my site.com/index.html
 * I have checked with three support tewchs and they each say it is the wordpress
   installation – something inside the software is redirecting. I didn’t have this
   problem before but maybe something got changes ? can anyone help? thanks

 * When you have index.html and index.php, index.html loads first. Remove it and
   see. Keep a copy of index.html so that you can restore if anything goes wrong.
