"index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content - Berend - 2013-01-30 I have a successful installation. I can create new pages and they show up as they should. The only thing that does not work is the special "index" page itself. When I call this page from the admin/pages.php via "#" or when I type the site URL in the browser, I get a simple file list of the GetSimpleCMS root directory. When I call the index.php in the site root directory directly it shows the "index" page correctly. A workaround is to insert a new index.html file with a redirect to the index.php. But there certainly has to be a reason why the standard example in the installation does not work for me. My installation: - Windows 7 (yeah I know, its supposed to be UNIX...) - Apache 2.2 - PHP 5.2.17 - I installed GetSimpleCMS in a subdirectory of the Apache Webserver root. So it is not directly located at the root of the Webserver (htdocs\GetSimpleTest\... (here is the installation)). RE: "index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content - shawn_a - 2013-01-30 index.php might not be set as a index in your apache config. check your apache config for DirectoryIndex http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html RE: "index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content - Berend - 2013-01-30 Yeah that must be the problem. I have not done this for Apache, only included the PHPxxx.dll destination. I will take a look at that (I am kind of a newbie in running Apache). Thanks a lot!!! Yeah. It works now. Again, thank you for the quick reply!!! RE: "index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content - shawn_a - 2013-01-30 you should just use xamp or easyphp or something if you are just testing on windows. RE: "index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content - Berend - 2013-01-30 I'll keep these two in my mind. I have quite some programming experience with Java, Smalltalk, but not so much with web programming (Apache configuration, logging, ...). I see how far I can go with just plain Apache/PHP/GetSimpleCMS, but if I run into problems and need better debugging options, I take a look at these two you recommended. RE: "index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content - shawn_a - 2013-01-30 Well they make installing it all easy as pie, and mysql. Its all one click installed and configured. And you can run it portable. RE: "index" page shows only a file directory list instead of the "index" page content - Connie - 2013-01-30 some short info: there is a directive for .htaccess-file to define what to do when the URL loads a directory but no file: if that is the case, all files of that directory will be presented as a list. To prevent his, add this directive to your .htacces-file: Code: Options All -Indexes if you have more than one index-file, you can define which of these should be the default index-file if the URL loads a directory but not a file: for example: Code: DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html defines that if index.php exists it should be loaded in case the URL contains no file-name prior to other index-files. |
