DummyNewB Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I have a new Apache 2.2 server with PHP5 installed and everything works great. Except...If I try to access a directory where the index page has a php extension (index.php) it just lists the directory contents and does not parse the php file automatically. If the extension was html or htm it works fine. If I type in the exact "directory/index.php" it works fine. It just seems that the server will not recognize any php file unless I use the exact file name. Am I making sense?How do I tell the server to run/open .html, .htm, .shtml and also .php?Thanks in advance for your help.DNB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Open you httpd.conf file and search for the following line:[code]DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var[/code]Now add a space after index.html.var and add index.phpNow save the httpd.conf file and restart Apache. index.php files should now be run automatically when in a directory.
