My Apache web server suddenly stopped serving index.php files automatically. It shows direcotry listing instead. I've tried helps but no luck.

My htttpd.conf file includes

<IfModule module_php5> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php </IfMOdule>

and

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

What could be wrong if all above are OK?

  • @Charles, I specifically wanted to tag directory and index separately. but thanks for editing the codes. Commented Dec 16, 2012 at 3:44
  • @zerkms the browser shows index.php when typed explicitly. Commented Dec 16, 2012 at 3:45
  • I am new to this site. I've read threads before, but didn't have an account until recently. So I don't know any common practice in asking questions, but will learn by time. Can I ask why you deleted "thanks in advance" from the end of my question, @Charles ? Commented Dec 16, 2012 at 4:02

I was surprised by the quick response when I first asked the question, and then the replies stopped! So I found the answer myself (by accident!). The main server root displayed index files fine, it was my user Sites folder that did not.

There is a .conf file for each user in apache users directory. I added

<Directory "/Users/mavili/Sites/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.pl index.cgi AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

into the file for my username and tata, it worked!
