www.mysite.com/forum wont open, but www.mysite.com/forum.index.php will

Title should be
www.mysite.com/forum wont open, but www.mysite.com/forum/index.php will

Hi, when a user creates a site called "test" for example, it makes a folder but theres no index.php file to load when they go to www.mysite.com/test.

But when you www.mysite.com/test/index.php it loads.

How do you get www.mysite.com/test to load the forum?

Have you tried adding a trailing slash?
http://www.mysite.com/test/
instead of
http://www.mysite.com/test

Edit the .htaccess file

Insert

DirectoryIndex index.php

If DirectoryIndex exit, you need add index.php in this line.

Greets!

This is my .htaccess file


# Credits go to Chroder < http://www.chroder.com > for helping me with this part. Thank You Chroder :).

DirectoryIndex new_forum.php index.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ handler.php?_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]


Is this all correct?

It seems to work when i go to www.mysite.com (it redirects to new_forum.php)

But it doesnt work when i go to www.mysite.com/example

[reallyfunny]

So the .htaccess file works, but does not load the deafult index.php when you go to a directory (a forum)

When you go to a website www.example.com, the site automatically loads www.example.com/index.php (and does not show index.php in the URL)


My forum, doesn't automatically load index.php when going to a forum.

What is the problem? How do i fix it?
