This way does it with links intact. That is `www.oldsite.com/some/crazy/link.html` will become `www.newsite.com/some/crazy/link.html`. This is extremely helpful when you are just “moving” a site to a new domain.

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

```
DirectoryIndex homepage.html	
```
Replace homepage.html with the actual URL of the page you want to use as index and you are done.
Rename htaccess file
```
AccessFileName htac.cess
```
You also need to update any entries in the file itself or everywhere .htaccess is mentioned, otherwise you will be getting lots of errors.
