Moved wordpress to root, now getting error: directory has no index file

  • I moved a website from root/sub-directory to root/ and now I’m getting emails saying that people are having getting an error when they try to visit the site that says there’s no index file.

    There is indeed an index.php file, and the htaccess seems to be configured correct as well. I can’t reproduce the error, so I’m having a hard time trouble shooting.

    Interestingly, When I looked in the root from the control panel I realized there was an old index.html file – deleted it, but again, because I can’t recreate the error, I can’t trouble shoot.

    Others have told me that it hasn’t fixed the issue.

    Any advise?

    thanks!

    Yeah, I did that procedure to the letter, I think…
    again, posts are there, pages are there, permalinks work fine – from some computers, but from others there’s an error that gets returned:

    Directory has no index file.
    Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.
    If you are the site’s webmaster, you can remedy this problem by creating a default HTML page with one of the following names:

    index.html
    index.htm
    default.htm
    Default.htm
    home.html
    Home.chtml

    Index.php is there in the root
