what is the site url?
have you installed WordPress directly into the root public_html (or equivalent) directory or into a folder?
What do you mean when you say you changed the index.php name? If you changed the filename change it back to index.php; index.html would normally take precedence over index.php and changing it will break WordPress.
http://www.rajshri.org
installed wordpress directly to public_html.
well i have canged the index.php back to its original name.
It looks like your holding page is called index.php & trying to access index.html results in a 404 no found error.
Did you replace WordPress’s index.php with your custom one?
The content of the index.php in WordPress should look like:
<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
Do you have that file?
Or you could use one of the “Coming Soon” plugins, such as this one:

@cubecolour- yes I have the same file… yhere is no problem with wordpress file… I have uploaded a index.html page n that page is visible when we enter the site url… The problem is… even if I want to see wordpress pages… its shows me the same html page not any of the wordpress pages…
Thanks@ 2ninerniner2- I tried some pluggins n have come to a solution. But I wanted to that there may be other measures for it… n y is theproblem arising???
I cannot access an index.html at http://rajshri.org/index.html however http://rajshri.org/index.php returns your holding page. This is not how I would expect the setup you have described to behave. Can you try to get a better answer from your hosting company about why they say this is not possible. I have use an index.html alongside an index.php many times when setting up a new site without problems. Perhaps they know of a specific restriction they put in place. I do not believe it is a linux restriction.
It is particularly strange that the index.html cannot be accessed via its own filename.
Thanks for the reply. They said-“its a dedicated srever and access the main root, not any other page.” I dont know what does that mean…!!
Could please tell me the steps you followed to run these pages. I’ll try them
I must admit I have no idea what has gone wrong here and I am somewhat surprised that your hosting company who have full access to the server, so well placed to check it out are not helping you. I am not sure what their response is specifically referring to.
All i did to check it was to type in the address bar of my browser:
http://rajshri.org/index.html
&
http://rajshri.org/index.php
I would expect the .html URL to return your holding page and the .php address to return the WordPress site.
Also I can see the WordPress readme.html at http://rajshri.org/readme.html
At what point did the site break?
Was WordPress installed & working until you created the new index.html file?
What happens if you remove the index.html you added?
What happens if you download and unzip the WordPress 3.5.1 files from https://wordpress.org/download/ & upload just the index.php from that package?
