   I have a webserver where there is a index.html located. And i installed a WordPress install. But the old website is now online. And i want to keep the old website online before everythings works ok.

   But i can't access my WordPress install without rename the index.html, If i go to index.php it automaticly takes the index.html.

   Question: How can i check the wordpress install before everyone can see it?

   Could put WordPress in a sub-folder such as blog and access it as mydomain.com/blog, then when ready to go live and make WordPress available at http://mydomain.com just change in Settings->General, the Blog address (URL) to http://mydomain.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the blog folder)

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   Then update your permalinks in Settings->Permalinks.
