How can a web server be configured to load a specific file when accessed through a browser?

To configure a web server to load a specific file when accessed through a browser, you can set up a default document in the server's configuration. This can be done by specifying the file name in the server's configuration file (e.g., .htaccess for Apache) or by setting the default document in the server settings. This way, when a user accesses the root directory of the website, the specified file will be loaded automatically.

// Example of setting default document to index.php in .htaccess file for Apache server
DirectoryIndex index.php
