Home Page not Recognised...

[ImmortalSon]

Hi Everyone...

I have just installed CMSMS successfully onto a new host server and everything seems to be working great.  The problem is that the home page of my CMS site is only accessible at http://www.glenavyparish.com/index.php instead of just http://www.glenavyparish.com

Is there a simple way to fix this?  Really confused, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

R.

Hi,
It looks like the webserver doesn't recognize index.php as a DirectoryIndex.

Dee,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  I had a look at the thread you directed me to but still haven't managed to resolve the issue.  I have just sent an email to the hosting company there now to see if it's a problem at their end....unless you can think of what else I can do?

Thanks again,

R.

Try creating a .htaccess file in your webroot containing:

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

Thanks Again,

I tried the htaccess file to no avail.  For anyone else however, facing this problem, I contacted the hosting company and they managed to solve the issue themselves very quickly indeed.
