Default Home Page not working


Recommended Posts

So this is odd.. my default homepage doesn't come up and instead I get my plesk login page

Could contain: File, Person, Advertisement, Webpage, Poster

BUT if I go to hosangit.net/admin I can login just fine.  I can also go to any page like hosangit.net/blogs or hosangit.net/forums and they all work..

Could contain: File, Webpage, Text, Page

 

Now Pages isn't working no matter what which is default so I change the default page to blogs and all this does is make blogs AND pages not work but I can still get to forums or links or whatever.

I reinstalled and same issue.

 

I'm not at all saying its a IPB 4.7.8 issue but more looking for some direction on what the heck it can be.  I reissued my certs, I removed rewrite and re-enabled as well as reuploaded htaccess and no difference.  Out of ideas

This sounds like your host is not recognizing index.php as a default file.  

This is typically set through the DirectoryIndex directive in httpd.conf

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

By the way...  

https://hosangit.net/index.php

If you specifically add the index.php, it works.  So yes...  this is a config issue within your server. Either you've got an existing index.htm(l) file that is being called first, or you don't have index.php as a default file.  🙂

Since I'm running a VPS which all use the same httpd.conf I just added the DirectoryIndex in my .htaccess file and bam it worked.  Appreciate it..  very odd that all my other sites work, just not this one and then I discovered the setting in Plesk you can set Directory Index different for each site.  It was set to Default but I changed to custom and removed my entry in .htaccess and it worked.  Just sharing for anyone else that might run into this.
