DirectoryIndex problem

Hello Friends,

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2 (squeeze) and Apache 2.2. I have set the virtual hosting as per the example http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412.

My site comes if i type full url (www.example.com/index.html) but if i do not use index.html (www.example.com/) comes up page cannot display. I have default site set up which works ok. if i type the ip address (http://192.168.1.3/) it can read the index.html.

I have dir module loaded. also have set up the DirectoryIndex index.html

dir.conf:

Code:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>

          DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm

</IfModule>

under sites-available i have default:

Code:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName no_vhost_entry:80
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/default

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/html/default>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride Limit
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        <IfModule mod_headers.c>
                Header set Cache-Control no-cache
        </IfModule>

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
</VirtualHost>

under sites-available i have www.example.com:

Code:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        ServerName  www.example.com
        ServerAlias example.com

        # Indexes + Directory Root.
        DirectoryIndex index.html
        DocumentRoot /home/www/www.example.com/htdocs/

        # CGI Directory
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/www.example.com/cgi-bin/
        <Location /cgi-bin>
                Options +ExecCGI
        </Location>


        # Logfiles
        ErrorLog  /home/www/www.example.com/logs/error.log
        CustomLog /home/www/www.example.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Just want to get some light here

Thanks,
Bip

 

i feel so stupid now. it is working fine. It's my browser mozilla, i clear the cache and working ok.

 

For what it's worth, I have had times where there were i would get "permission denied", even though i thought everything was set up correctly. Only to find out i had the wrong selinux context set on my index file. This is a nook that can often be a hard one to check because may forget about it -- although it not directly related to your issue i am in hope that someone would read this thread one day and use this bit of info to solve their problem
