Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Apache does not read index.php in a particular directory

[Marcelo Ramone]

Hello All,

I can not believe this,

Apache don't find any index.php created under "mobile" directory, in the site's root in the document root directory (/var/www/virtuales), in any domain and subdomain of the server.



It is not a matter of owners, permits, VirtualHost misconfiguration, a global policy or unusual .htaccess, etc, just if I create the folder "mobile" within a virtual root and I put a index.php, does not read and gives 404, even a hello world or any code, and I see nothing in the logs ...

I deleted all virtual hosts from httpd.conf file, recreate all of them again, I restarted apache of course, review the settings, directives, etc, but no case only if the directory is called "mobile"

Even I put DirectoryIndex index.php to the left, to take with utmost priority, but no case.

I also put the directives in .htaccess to read the .php files in all directories and subdirectories, just in case, but it will not.

I tried with all permissions for the folder and the index, and with different owners as apache, nobody, but not walk.

Alias /example.com /var/www/virtuales/example.com

Does anyone have any suggestions?

It is very rare!

Thanks in advance.

Check Directory Index, should be: index.html index.php

Originally in the DirectoryIndex, index php was put in the right and index html to the left, I put index php to the left to give max priority for the index.php

Now with: DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.shtml index.htm don't works...

Thank you.-

see if there any Alias made for mobile in the httpd.conf file.

Is your "mobile" directory created under "/var/www/virtuales/example.com" OR /var/www/virtuales/" ?

If it is under /var/www/virtuales/ directory, you need to create an Alias in the VirtualHost of the domain, something like

Alias /mobile /var/www/virtuales/example.com/mobile

This should allow you to access the mobile directory as www.example.com/mobile

BTW, remove the Alias you have set, which is

Alias /example.com /var/www/virtuales/example.com

don't forget to restart the httpd service...

Hello,

Is in "/var/www/virtuales/domain.com/movil/index.php

The alias in apache is for the domain: Alias /example.com /var/www/virtuales/example.com

In ANY domain, under movil directory, the index.php give me 404 (with ANY code)

Finally, but incredible, I deleted the VirtualHost in apache, restarted httpd, and re-created it at the end of the httpd.conf file, restarted and is working again.

But I can't explain how it's running and why don't ran before.

Incredible.

Thanks for the answers and sorry for my English.
