    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 https://mydomain.com just change in Settings->General, the Blog address (URL) to https://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.
