Vanilla is not getting directed to the index.php

Swasster

If you could, please tell me how to fix this problem. Go to our forum. www.am-eagle.com/vanilla/index.php Then go to catagories and select a catagory. Any catagory. I should give you a "Directory Access Denied" because it isn't adding the index.php to the link address prior to the "?catagoryID=1" Even in the link info at the bottom it doesn't include "index.php" How do I get it to work properly? Thanks Steven

Put a .htaccess file in your root vanilla folder and inside it write:
DirectoryIndex index.php

Should do the trick. I think.

Where exactly do I put the line. I tried it at the bottom and it didn't fix the problem. Swasster

sometimes changes to .htaccess require up to half an hour to start working on shared servers.

I am new to using Vanilla, I managed installing the application and everything seems to work fine. The URL looks like this http://forum.mydomain.net I have edited the ‘.htaccess’ file with the following entry “DirectoryIndex index.php” and have placed it in the root folder. conf/settings.php has the following entries. $Configuration['COOKIE_DOMAIN'] = 'www.forum.mydomain.net'; $Configuration['COOKIE_PATH'] = '/forum/'; The issue I am facing is, when an ‘administrator’ or a ‘user’ signs-in to the Sign-In page, you are taken to the root directory ‘Index of /’ and sometimes you are taken to ‘people.php’ where it shows the following two options. Option 01 - Click here to continue to the discussions. This has a link http://forum.mydomain.net and takes you to the to the root directory ‘Index of /’ Option 02 - Click here to continue to the categories. This works as it should, and it takes you to the category page. I have searched through the forum, I am not sure if I have missed out anything. Could someone help me fix this for me, please?
