DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html index.htm index.php

is the correct command, but will only be effective if AllowOverride All
is set in the <Directory "/var/www/html"> directives in the virtual server's
section of the httpd.conf file. (replace "/var/www/html" with the file path
to your root web, it will probably be different.)

The default page for the web is set in the httpd.conf file, but may be
overridden (provided AllowOverride is set) using .htaccess as you have done.

Note: This is about the limit of my knowledge of apache and Unix systems.

much about .htaccess files, maybe this was not the right command or maybe
something else must be changed. If you can give me more precise information
where or how the default page is set, other than this, I would be
interested. I don't know why it didn't work.
