Server doesnt recognise index.html?

[marcjacob]

I have this wierd thing going on with my server. If you surf to domain.com it wont find the index.html but list the directory contents including the index.html file! But it will find index.php. If i dont have an index.php or index.anything but do have the index.html - it will just list the directory contents. Any ideas?

for some reasons maybe the default directory index document to load is broken

if you have an .htaccess paste the following line, if you do not have one .htaccess (DOThtaccess) create one and upload it

DirectoryIndex index.html

then call your hoster and tell him to fix it or ask him what you (might) have done

Make sure you have the host fix apache this was only a bandaid it should be fixed properly so apache reads your index.html

Apache config area that handles this should look something similar to this depending on your needs.

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.wml index.cgi index.shtml index.jsp index.js index.jp index.php4 index.php3 index.php index.phtml index.htm default.htm default.html home.htm
</IfModule>
