File Extension

[chillyb]

I\'ve re-installed Apache onto my server and I now cannot open any files in my browser without supplying the file extension. This is true for both .html files and .php files. Can any body help?

[catman]

so you want www.whatever.com/hello open hello.html

or do you want www.whatever.com to open index.html or index.php

[chillyb]

www.whatever.com/hello

 

 

to open a .html or .php file

[catman]

you have to include the trailing /

 

www.whatever.com/hello/

 

without the slash, the computer searches for file called hello with no file extention

 

also check that httpd.conf has all of the correct default file types under DirectoryIndex-

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
