Thanks to you both Michael & Dan,
I must not have mod-rewrite installed (I am 98% uneducated about
apache/server admin).
I will save your post though MIchael, for when I get more to that
level.. you gave a good lead.
Meanwhile, Dan you gave me the quick fix lead I was after.
DirectoryIndex index.php
works.
Found it at
