Index.html

    Hi:

    I have a index.html at my wordpress directory. This page is a frontpage that redirects my visitors to my blog.

    In wp versions lower than 2.7 my index.html and the wp index.php have lived together without any problem.

    In wp 2.7 it’s a problem my index.html. I have had to delete it.

    I have these options:
    wordpress address: https://www.my-site.com
    blog address: https://www.my-site.com/index.php

    When I visit my-site.com I go to my-site.com/index.html. Correct!

    But when I visit my-site.com/index.php I _always_ go to my-site.com/index.html. Incorrect!

    Any solution?

    A lot of thanks!

  • Same problem here.

    same problem here, help me

    You cannot have index.html and index.php in the same directory without having problems.

    What is the url of your blog?

    You have not deleted index.html – it is still functioning. You say . . .

    When I visit my-site.com I go to my-site.com/index.html.

    so when you say . . .

    In wp 2.7 it’s a problem my index.html. I have had to delete it.

    that is not correct.

    I have no problem ever by having index.html and index.php in the same directory. It’s now with wordpress 2.7 when I have this ‘issue’.

    What is the url of your blog?

    https://www.vcubells.net

    My blog adress is https://www.vcubells.net/index.php

    I have had to delete index.html page in order to browse to my blog…

    Thanks!

    I have to delete index.html page if I want to browse to my blog.

    Now, I upload again my index.html so that you try it.

    It’s a better explanation…

    thanks!

    Open the .htaccess file from your root web folder in a text editor. At the top of the file, add:
    DirectoryIndex home.php index.php
    Save and upload the modified .htaccess file. (for Apache server)

    Thanks kmessinger:

    That’s the first thing I had tried and it’s not a solution.

    By doing that I cannot browse to my index.html page.

    What have it changed from 2.7 version to previous that I don’t be able to have an index.php and an index.html page in the same root directory of my blog??

    Thanks!

    AFAIK, nothing. The decision as to which index file to bring up is done by the server. That why is is much easier not to have multiple index files in one directory. But, the order of which file opens can be controlled by the server or by your htaccess.

    Maybe something on the server changed. Have you asked the server people? Is this an Apache or Windows server?

    Yes. Nothing has changed on the server.

    Is this an Apache or Windows server?

    Apache, of course.

    It’s a problem of the wordpress: index.php redirects visitor to index.html always, when you go to https://www.vcubells.net and when you go to https://www.vcubells.net/index.php.

    If I add “DirectoryIndex home.php index.php” in .htaccess then index.html desappear.

    This issue didn’t exist in wordpress version lower than 2.7.

    Thanks!

    kmessinger if you don’t know the solution please don’t post.
    It’s not a server related problem, it’s a WordPress 2.7 redirect issue.

    Thanks

    Had the same problem.
    I had a redirect in my .htaccess from index.html to index.php
    I just had to remove it, that’s all.

    Hi mnr:

    I don’t have any redirect in my .htaccess.

    Even if I delete my .htaccess on the server, when I browse to https://www.vcubells.net/index.php, then wordpress redirects me to index.html.

    Try it: https://www.vcubells.net/index.php
    Now I don’t have any .htaccess and wordpress redirects me.

    I think your problem not is my problem.

    Paste your .htaccess if you think still that it is the same.

    Thanks!
