Blank Page

Hi,
As part of my hosting package on http://hostpost.co.uk/ I have CMSMS 1.6.6 on a self installer. To assist my users in any evaluation of the script before installing it I have set up a demo version here http://hostpost.co.uk/scripts/cmsmadesimple/index.php

The idea is to keep it as first installed to show the default view and also as it has so much great info in it already. The only problem I have seen is that when navigating around it, the home tab is broken and missing the index.php extension. This makes the link go to a blank page not shown hostpost.co.uk/scripts/cmsmadesimple(index.php missing)

I have ploughed through the set up and admin but so far I have not seen how I can change this, I may be missing something very simple but I have not had any joy. Any thoughts please on what is wrong here.

Regards
David

Probably your Apache is not configured to show index.php if no file is specified in URL.

The .htaccess directive "DirectoryIndex" can be used to override this behavior. In your .htaccess file (create it in the root directory), type the following line:

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Thanks for the tip. It turns out that along with this I had to turn off the rewrite engine as well.
