Not redirecting to index.php

the address board/index.php works great, but if you type /board/ it doesnt automatically redirect to index.php ... Any ideas? The error it gives is the 403.

Hi !

Take a look at the DirectoryIndex in your Apache configuration file httpd.conf (if you are using apache as your webserver). Just add index.php after the index.html

You may also correct this by using a .htaccess file, but I would suggest changing the settings directly in the apache config.

I'm sure there's a way of specifying default pages (like index.php) and security permissions in IIS. I remember doing this at one time, but I don't have IIS handy at the moment, and I can't remember what icons or buttons or menus to click to get to wherever it is.

In IIS it's in Control panel, Administrative tools, Internet Services Manager. Then right-click your site, choose properties. Under the Documents tab, add index.php. And you're done !

🆒
