Directory index configuration is covered in our .htaccess guide.

Short answer: Add DirectoryIndex filename.html to your .htaccess file. Replace filename.html with the file you want displayed when someone visits the directory. You can list multiple files in order of preference. Use Options -Indexes to disable directory browsing.
