Folder name is the same as a file name

Question

In my directory I have a file called portfolio.php. The navigation menu, there is a link to the portfolio file, and the href links to portfolio.php.

I am trying to create a folder called portfolio, and inside that folder I will add projects, i.e project.php,project1.php,project2.php and so on.

So the projects will be linked from the portfolio page, and the url will appear as follows for example: portfolio.php/proejct.php

The problem is, when I created the folder portfolio, and try to visit it, it shows the Index of /portfolio....

How can I fix this? I tried to place the portfolio.php page within it, but no hope. What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Just name your default page "index". I work with Apache 2 and this would work.
