Browser doesn't find index.php

Post by Alex_Leipzig »

Hi there,
for quite some time now, I can't access my CMSms project by simply entering the url (http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~ialt/cms/. I have to call the index file instead http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~ialt/cms/index.php.
What's wrong there?

In the apache config, you need to look for the DirectoryIndex line.  That line will have stuff like: index.html index.cgi index.xhtml, etc.  Add index.php to that list and restart apache.

Thank you, wishy and Patricia. The thing is, it's a shared (university) server, so I'm unsure whether your solutions will work. I'll try anyway, and if it doesn't work, I'll do a meta-tag forward with an html file.
Strangely enough, it DOES work without any modifications in the admin folder.

alex,

the .htaccess solution should work with your server if the clean URLs work. Just give it a shot! :o)
