Why can't I get rid of default index.html even if I disable the default virtual host in Apache2?
- by Emre Sevinç
I have created a virtual host settings file and I disabled the default settings by using a2dissite default (this is a pretty standard Ubuntu 10.04 installation). But no matter what I try my Apache2 server simply keeps on displaying the default index.html page instead of the index.php page that I set up in the virtual host file. Can someone help me what I'm missing. Details follow:
No default settings:
ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 May 5 13:32 webmin.1273066327.conf -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/webmin.1273066327.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 May 30 11:03 www.accontax.be -> ../sites-available/www.accontax.be
Contents of the relevant virtual host:
cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/www.accontax.be
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.accontax.be
ServerAlias accontax.be
DirectoryIndex index.php
DocumentRoot /var/www/drupal/
<Directory /var/www/drupal/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Contents of httpd.conf:
cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *
I also have those relevant lines in my apache2.conf:
# Include generic snippets of statements
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/
# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
When I visit http://www.accontax.be I expect apache2 server go to the /var/www/drupal subdirectory and start serving index.php but it simply keeps on serving index.html from /var/www directory. I have reloaded the configuration, restarted the server, deleted my browser cache. Nothing changed.
Probably I'm missing a simple yet crucial step but I just could not find it.
