If that doesn't work, then your host probably disabled it (you could contact them and see). Rename that file to index.htm or index.php. It should work then.

Thanks for your reply. Thing is, I've already done that and you saw the result. It baffles me.

Even so, shouldn't index.html always resolve as the default in a sub-directory - even without an .htaccess file? I've never had to include an .htaccess file before.

I just don't get it. I have several other sites on the same hosting account and they work just fine and I've not had this problem with this particular site until now. I've uploaded the same test folder and index.html file (with no .htaccess file) to another domain on the same account with no problem.

Anyone else ever seen this?

Create a .htaccess file in your 'test' directory, and then insert the following line:

Directory Index index.html'

It works in your other directory because it points to index.php, and that must be one of the indexes set by your host. It's weird that it doesn't include index.html as one by default.
