You need to add the file type in your httpd.conf. I suggest look for:
<IfModule dir_module>
# Insert file types here
</IfModule>
Between the two tags above insert index.php and it should work.
You need to stop and restart the server for changes to take effect. If
you want the complete list of most file types then copy and paste this:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml
index.html index.htm \
default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp
default.shtml default.html default.htm \
home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml
home.html home.htm
</IfModule>

Hi,
I am fairly new to apache. I just installed it from the repositories on my
Ubuntu 10.04 notebook so I will assume that it is the latest version (not even
sure how to check that).
I made a change to the default site in /etc/apache2/sites-available to change
the path for the default site to point to
/home/documents/me/Documents/sites/mysite/. When I just had index.html in
there, it worked fine after I restarted the server.
Perhaps I should state that I changed the permissions on the sites folder to
allow everyone to change files there. This is a single user development machine
and I needed to do that for my Joomla install (next step).
I then downloaded and installed Joomla 1.6. When I go to localhost now, apache thinks I
am trying to download a file. The name of the file does not display and it identifies it
as a "phtml" file.
I realized I did not have php so I installed php. phpinfo() proves that it is
installed but going to localhost still will not access the index.php as the
default page and keep trying to download something. When I specify
http://localhost/index.php, everything works fine.
I tried adding a DocumentIndex directive to httpd.conf and that didn't work. I
even tried adding the documentindex directive to apache2.conf and that did not
work. And yes, I restarted the server after each change.
Any ideas would be great appreciated.
