[Solved] index.html in a directory not recognized

[clueless]

I have an .index.html in a directory, such as /public_html/test/, but when you browse to http://example.heliohost.org/test/ it automatically gives you http://example.heliohost.org/test/index.php/ and pops a 404 error.

 

note, it's going to a directory named /index.php/

 

you have to specifically type http://example.heliohost.org/test/index.html to get that page.

 

the root directory has index.html which does work.

I haven't messed with any .htacccess

the /test/ directory has no .htaccess

 

how do I fix this?

Do you have to have a directory named index.php?

[clueless]

no. nothing but an index.html and that's it.

 

was playing around with .php scripts in that folder earlier, but they have been deleted.

 

I created another directory for troubleshooting. that has no index.html or index.php just some random files. browsing to that directory lists the contents. it doesn't do this with the /test/ directory.

 

(btw /test/ is an example, not an actual directory)

You should give the actual link, at least the path, so admins can look into your site files and see if anything is wrong.

 

From my personal experience, .htaccess can be deadly or a lifesaver.

I've checked both your folders and both seem to be working. The directory with only the index.html gives me the weather. Try clearing your cache.

that did it! thanks
