[SOLVED] Index.php not working [SOLVED]

[SirEddie]

Hi all, I have Apache with PHP. When I have index.php in the folder with everything else, it doesnt view the index.php, it just brings up the list of files and folders in the directory, but when I make it index.html, it works.

 

Is there anyway to make it so it loads index.php like index.html?

 

EDIT:: SOLVED - Found in the httpd.conf that you have to change index.html to index.php

I'm having the same problem.  I tried changing the DirectoryIndex variable to index.php.  It didn't help. 

 

The index.php is in a directory called wiki.  I created a softlink in my /var/apache2/htdocs directory to it. 

 

Any ideas?

shouldn't you just change it to:

 

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

 

I thought you were supost to have both...?

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

That depends on your setup. If you have both .html and .php files in your website then you can have both stated.

 

Also ungrouwn_admin make sure have saved your httd.conf and that you have restarted Apache. It is important you restart Apache after you have changed its configuration.
