how to set default index to index.html

I am building wordpress site and it's not finished yet. I want to redirect the visitors visiting http://domain.com to http://domain.com/under-construction but i want to be able to see my index.php...

I tried changing the names to index.html index.htm default.asp ..... none of them worked.

and if I used htaccess it redirected all my pages to index.html so it doesnt work.

Any ideas? Thanks...

In /.htaccess write as suggested by Sudhir. In /index.php write require('./under-construction/wp-blog-header.php');. No .htaccess in /under-construction/ and in /under-construction/index.php write require('./wp-blog-header.php');. Thats how it works in my case.

In your root blog directory place this in your .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.html
