In theory, you could rename the file and change the rewrite rule accordingly. Assuming you rename it to wp-index.php, it would look something like this: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wp-index.php [L] </IfModule> There are a few references to index.php in the WP source, but they’re … Read more

Remove WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL from your wp-config.php, and then check in the wp_options table for the values “siteurl” and “home” and change them to http://localhost/sitefolder. It must be an absolute URL. The WP Codex has more information about changing the site URL.
