Not sure why my index2.php file is showing instead of my index.html file

[billperrotta]

When I hit site preview why does index2.php comes up. Why not index.html?
or when I view from outside. both files exist.
This is a vps and all the sites files are in httpdocs folder.
anyone have any ideas?

Help appreciated,
Bill

Stab in the dark from someone who barely knows php (it has a lot ?'s right?) and is no expert on Apache, but...

However, in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf there should be a line DirectoryIndex. See if by some chance, index.php is before index.html, in other words if it looks something like

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

If that does turn out to be the solution, I'll be as surprised as anyone, but...

If it does look like that, reverse them so that index.html is first. (Or if anything else is before index.html, put index.html first.)

[billperrotta]

DirectoryIndex at_domains_index.html index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.
.cfm index.php index.htm

I tried both


DirectoryIndex at_domains_index.html index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.
.cfm index.htm index.php


DirectoryIndex index.html at_domains_index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.
.cfm index.php index.htm

Neither one makes the index.html file open instead of the index2.php file.

I also believe after that all I need to do is type Service httpd restart?

Anyone have any other ideas

Hang on a little longer, the forums are really busy these days with the new release. I'm sorry, but as I said, it was a stab in the dark.
Hopefully, someone will come to the rescue.

Is your server set up so that all domains on it use /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or similar path) or does it use a conf file for each domain? I just want to clarify, as your original post seems to lead me to believe that you have httpd.conf and site1.conf in the same folder.

Do you have any .htaccess files that are overriding Apache?

Have you tried just:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

?

[billperrotta]

I put the httpd.conf file back in the original configuration
see below

DirectoryIndex at_domains_index.html index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.
.cfm index.php index.htm

What do you think I should try? I already tried the order in the two posts above.

You have some other config that uses index2.php as index and that overwrites your 1st instance.

Have you used the GUI tool to configure/ try out settings, for your server. If you have, you'll be having 2 httpd.conf files (can't remember exact name for GUI version). Check that first. If there's just 1 httpd.conf, use cat/ less/ more to verify it is what it's supposed to be. If it is, grep for index2.php in your apache config dors (/etc/httpd if installed from Fedora package) and find out where index2.php is set.

Does anyone know the gui name of the second httpd.conf?
What is the grep command to search for index2.php?

I have been wondering this myself, as it seems the GUI does NOT use /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, it seems to use some other file.

One quick way is to run updatedb

When that finishes (it will take a few minutes)

locate index2.php

This can sometimes be faster than the find command.
