why does hosted website shows index.php with domain name?

Question

why does my website hosted on php server shows www.abc.com/index.php, and why not www.abc.com

all the webpages are lying in one folder only.

how to correct it?

Thanks in advance

What happens when you open www.abc.com? is it redirected to www.abc.com/index.php? or it lists directory? — Saurabh Sharma, Jan 26 '14 at 16:34
@SaurabhSharma it is redirected to www.abc.com/index.php instead it shall show only www.abc.com — user3227443, Jan 26 '14 at 16:36
@user3227443 Check your Redirection settings on your server first. if there is any redirection, remove it. — Saurabh Sharma, Jan 26 '14 at 16:38
@EdHeal this is not the answer to question instead it is saying, you have disease, do not go to doctor, just forget u have disease. you will be alright. — user3227443, Jan 26 '14 at 16:38

Put this in your htaccess.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

As per the Apache documentation for DirectoryIndex, simply put the following in a .htaccess file in the same directory as index.php:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php 
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
