Subject: Re: [users@httpd] I am confused

First of all,  THANKS Jeff for trying to get this problem straightened out.

Here is my DirectoryIndex, it is the same on both systems:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.shtml index.html index.html.var index.htm
index.php3

I have checked all of the directives (in both http.conf files) and they are
the same except the 1st system points to C:/FoxServ/www/ for a root document
and the 2nd system points to C:/Apache2/htdocs/.  Neither folder contains a
.htaccess file. System 1 has Apache 2.0.39, system 2 has Apache 2.0.43.

On the 1st system entering a URL of http://testbed/ will give me the
index.php page in that folder.
I will also get the same results with http://testbed/index  or
http://testbed/index.php/

On system 2 entering a URL of http://testbed/ or http://testbed/index.php/
will give me the index.php page in that folder. But when I enter
http://testbed/index  I get a 404 Page not found error.

Results are the same for other pages whether they be .php or .shtml or .html

Emil

Hi Emil,

Guess you have to use mod_rewrite to do so. The server doesn't know which
file you are asking it to serve unless you specify the extension, eg. If you
go to dos prompt and try running *filename* and at the same folder you have
x.bat and x.com, will the computer know which file you meant to load??
Think about it..
You'll need to use mod_rewrite and redirect www.domain1.com/file >
www.domain1.com/file.extension . Otherwise you'll need to do as follows:
Add another DirectoryIndex to the folder that will point to the default page
you want to load. You can do so within the httpd.conf file or in an
.htaccess file. The line to do so will be DirectoryIndex demo.shtml
index.php and etc.

All the best,
Jeff Cohen
