How can i redirect all the requests that are made to www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/index_main.php and then rewrite www.mysite.com/index_main.php as www.mysite.com

Doing that would cause users to be redirected in an endless loop, so I suspect that's not what you really want. Can you clarify your question to describe what it is you mean to accomplish? – Michael Hampton Jul 11 '12 at 8:35
I have no index.php in my root directory and don't want one and i want to treat another file as index.php. Is that possible? – Amna Ahmed Jul 11 '12 at 8:39

Use the Apache DirectoryIndex directive to specify which file or files should be treated as the directory index.

Example:

DirectoryIndex index_main.php
