404 error unless I use index.php ­ Frequently Asked Questions ­ Textpattern CMS

http://example.com/index.php works, but http://example.com/ gives a ‘404 Not Found’ error

Uncomment (remove the ”#” from) the following line in your .htaccess file:

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

If that doesn’t help, or causes a 500 Internal Server error, contact your web host tech support and ask them about enabling DirectoryIndex for PHP files.
