cant change Default Index.html - Warrioя - Jan 31, 2017

Hello everyone,
I have Lamp installed on a VPS,
I want to change the default index.html to index.php but no success.
Here is my Default.conf setting for Apache2

Code

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin [email protected]

ServerName mysite.com

ServerAlias http://www.mysite.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/domains/mysite.com

DirectoryIndex index.php

CustomLog /var/www/logs/mysite.com.log combined

ErrorLog /var/www/error_logs/mysite.com.log

<Directory /var/www/domains/mysite.com/>

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

allow from all

</Directory>

I also tried to redirect index.html to index.php via .htaacc via 301 redirect

Code 
redirect 301 /index.html http://www.mysite/index.php

but it has no effect.

can you guys tell me what is forcing Apache to load index.html ?

Code 
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf

and move index.php to before index.html

Modify your 'httpd.conf' if you want to achieve this, I did a quick Google search and pulled a StackOverflow article.
