Mysterious redirection(?)

    There seems to be some sort of mysterious redirection going on when i try to access the site at
    https://fostamells.technojeeves.com/

    A static file, such as https://fostamells.technojeeves.com/license.txt comes out fine but the attempt to access the homepage seems to land on a page of the company that hosts technojeeves.com. I really can’t see why. Is it WordPress doing this or what (after all it does say X-Redirect-By: WordPress)? I’ve attached a wget debug log of the attempt to get the homepage:

    1. Contact your host. This is most likely a hosting issue.

    2. Delete “index.hmtl” in the root of your site, if it’s there. index.php is the critical file for WP.

    3. What’s in your .htaccess file?

    Thanks. Distinct progress. Number 2 was the significant move. ‘Plain’ permalink will work but not ‘Post name’.This is my .htaccess:

    ==================
    # Switch rewrite engine off in case this was installed under HostPay.
    RewriteEngine Off

    SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 53

    DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.php

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress
    ==================================

    That error with the permalinks indicates that your host is not processing .htaccess correctly.

    1. Upgrade PHP. PHP 5.3 is *not acceptable*.
    2. Ask your host about .htaccess.

    Or are you hosting this yourself?

    Yes. It’s running on Debian Stretch.
    I’m using PHP 7.0

    First, try removing the stuff outside of the BEGIN/END WORDPRESS block. If that doesn’t fix it, then try the following.

    If you’re using Apache, find the config file for your VirtualHost for this site and add 

    <Directory /path/you/where/you/installed/WordPress>
   AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    then restart Apache. The default is “None”, which cases Apache to ignore what’s in .htaccess.

    AllowOverride All
    needed setting in my vhost config. Thanks
