Change index to something else?

Is there a way to change the index.php file to something else like textpattern.php and make it work?

Certainly.

• Rename index.php to example.php
• In the .htaccess file, add: DirectoryIndex example.php, and change this line: RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php to: RewriteRule ^(.*) example.php

Is there a way to do this without using a .htaccess file? My server doesn’t support it…

The .htaccess file is only necessary for clean URLs. If you can’t use .htaccess, then you can’t use clean URLs anyway. You can still change the name of the index.php file, and the new name will appear in your (non-clean) URLs instead of “index.”
