I have an fc17 box with a few virtual hosts, all of which have
index.php as their index page. For some reason it continues to go to
the default fedora welcome page, despite there being an index.php in
the document root.
Even with the only reference to DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf being
"DirectoryIndex index.php", and nothing else, it continues to go to
the welcome page. I've tried making index.php first, followed by
index.html, and it doesn't change.
If I wrap the DirectoryIndex around "<Directory />" tags, it works as expected.
What is the proper way to ensure my index.php page is loaded for all
virtual hosts, and the default /var/www/html page?
Searching for this seems to indicate it may be a bug? I can't see how
that could be possible. I otherwise had no success in finding a
solution.
Thanks,
Alex

What is your DocumentRoot set to?
Is php set and running?
Also go to the DoumentRoot and if there is a index.html then rename it or move it to
something else like indexx.html see if that displays your php page.

Without seeing your configuration files, we can't really tell what's
going on. There are settings that can override settings, depending on
the sequence of entry. If you put your modifications into the
configuration at the wrong spot, they mightn't do what you want.

Check the manual for Apache. If you installed it, and it's configured
that way, you can just append manual to the local web address, to read
the manual through your web browser. e.g. http://localhost/manual And
look at the sample configuration supply, it usually has several
commented examples in it.
You can put options in it based on the file system and/or the URI path.
If you're making everything the same, then doing the file path way may
be a one-setting-for-all (i.e. everything above /var/www to be treated
the same), else you'd do it in the configurations for each virtual host.
In my *old* Apache configuration, I have a line like this in the main
configuration file, outside of any <Directory> or <Location> clauses:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
It, first looks for an index.html file, then tries an index.html.var
file. If you want multiple options, list your first choice first.
The main configuration file has a commented main server section, has
that option set, in the example configuration file after, not inside,
some <Directory> clauses.
And, inside my customised <VirtualHost _default_:80> clauses, I have
overriding options, like this.
DirectoryIndex homepage default index.html
That'll first look for a homepage (dot something) file, then try a
default (dot anything-or-other) file, then index.html files. Allowing
for the most obvious homepage.html for the document root, the logical
default.html (or default.shtml, et cetera)) pages for sub-sections, then
the usual index.html file (that usually isn't actually an "index").
If you just want one default document for any directory path, then just
put one file name in there.
My configuration file has a separate NameVirtual host section, it begins
like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<Directory /var/www/virtuals/>
AllowOverride all
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
</Directory>
It's customised for my purposes, but it should give you a template to
experiment with. You don't need the half of it, though.
NB: I keep my virtual hosts outside of /var/www/html, so that it's a
lot harder for someone to cross between different virtual hosts, by
accident of malicious design.
Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.

Please look at conf/httpd.conf for an oblique reference to
conf.d/welcome.conf. You may find a "Include conf.d/*.conf" statement. Break
these out into specific includes for what you need.
