url needing a / at the end?

[npereira]

Everytime I surf to my web server I need to put a ' / '
at the end of the url (if not specifying a file) so that the index.php file comes up. Or else, this is the error I receive;

www._default_.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

You did specify index.php as the "default" file to get right?

[gruvy]

If you don't put the / at the end, then it redirects to a DNS server. If " default .com" is not registered, you'll get this error. You can fix this by setting up your own DNS server and adding an entry for " default .com" (with spaces). Read up on DNS and BIND. I'm still somewhat a newbie, so I can't go into further detail. I have set this up before but that was a few installs prior.

I don't want to setup BIND just for that.


jhoegl,

Where do I put the index.php, I mean on what line of httpd.conf ?

[jhoegl]

I dont know, as I am pritty new to linux, also it depends on your ver of Linux. I do know that with win2k you have to specify what you want as the "default" file. So that when someone comes to your site, it looks for that file.

Search for the 'DirectoryIndex' line in your httpd.conf file, and add index.php (or default.php - if that is your default name for the autoloaded index page).


DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

[npereira]

This did not help.

I put in the index.php and restarted the httpd and same thing is happeneing.
You can see for yourself here;
The web server (https://smehome.homeip.net/gallery)

Try it without the /gallery and try it with the /gallery/

Apart from showing a empty document, both ways show the same content from here...

It does ? cool, thanks


now, how to setup multiple subdomains? see new thread @ setup subdomains (http://linuxnewbie.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=69940)

I error out every time I try. The only hand-typed url that came up was index.html.
index.php didn't 'exist'.

[Thanatos]

just surfed back over there and it works. how odd. you must be doing server maintenance!:cool:

[npereira]

Ya ! I'm trying to get my subdomains to work properly! GRRRRR ! This is driving me nut's

See my other post about this specific issue as THIS TOPIC is resolved.

Thanks
