My problem was in fact the server not using index.php as a default page. I go thte admin to change it and it now works fine! Sorry to clutter the space here ??

I am having this same issue. If i manually insert index.php after the domain & before the ?p=1#comments I reach my desired page. I can’t seem to find the solution in this discussion (or many others). I am guessing it is a file I need to edit and fix a link path. I am using a new install of 1.5.1.3 and a new database.

Is there a specific file to look in? The blog is at https://www.chrisking.org/index.php. The page won’t load without the index.php as well, which makes me think that the web server needs to use php as defaults. Could that be the problem for both things?
Thanks,

Ack! If that is the case, hopefully I can salvage the situation, or at least fix that and find out what damage I really have done ?? Thanks.

I’ve only succeeded in making things messier =/
I removed the index.hmtl, and continued to have issues. I kept getting the odd redirect above, and am unable to load the admin pages to try and alter the path I had changed. I’ve tried replacing all the files and even tried to put the old one back and re-upgrade which probably did more harm yet. The problem seems to be stored in teh database I guess, and I’m not sure how to locate it. I may just have to have the folks hosting the database blow it out and create a new empty one ??

I have been suffering this as well. I started messign with it myself before finding this thread and have made a worse mess now.
my site is https://www.chrisking.org. The default page there is jsut an html page with a linked image to https://www.chrisking.org/index.php which is the WP blog. All the links to comments and archives and articles had been returning you to the HTML page.

I went into the options and added /index.php to the paths there, which made the blog load, but now loads minues much of the formatting.

The real problem is that I can no longer navigate through the administrative pages. If i put in https://www.chrisking.org/wp-admin/options-general.php to go back to the options page, i get this URL instead: https://www.chrisking.org/index.php/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-general.php

As such I cannot undo the change I made. Does anyone know what file those options reside in so I can manually edite them out and then return to trying to fix the original problem again?

Thanks,
Chris
