WordPress’ index.php

  • Right now WordPress resides in its own directory on my server, where it is ancillary to the main site that is not WP-driven. I’d like to move WP to the root in order to utilize the multi-site, multi-domain feature but WP uses ‘index.php’ – and so does my main site. How can I change WP’s ‘index.php’ filename without messing up WordPress?

    Thanks in advance!

    This method still requires that I use wordpress’ index.php; what I need is to have the static, non-wordpress index.php load when people visit my site but still have blog functionality – and I also need WP in the root in order to have multiple domains run from the same setup.

    My current setup is that I have my non-WP site in the root, and I use WP in a subdirectory. For reasons unknown, I can’t run multiple domains from that subdirectory; WP requires the installation be in the root (which is extremely aggravating!)

    How can I get the two programs to run side-by-side without interfering with the existing, non-WP index.php?

    Thanks! Not exactly what I had in mind (I don’t particularly want the landing page to be wordpress at all) but it gets the desired effect.
