Only lists the Index page

Hi, yes as you already found out this is caused because the webserver didn’t find a “DirectoryIndex” this means the index.php file wasn’t found. I can see you have the index.php file but it is called index.php_old, you need to remove the _old from the name.

Also the webserver is configured to display the files instead of executing the php code. This configuration should be changeable in the .htaccess file, you need to remove this line of code:

Options +Indexes

The .htaccess file should be located in the same folder as the WordPress installation, and it is a hidden file, so make sure to also display hidden files in order to find it. You can then just open the file in any text editor and remove this line of code.

Hi Benni,

Thank you very much for the speedy and kind assistance. I managed to get he website to display by removing the _old as you suggested. Thanks!

I managed to find the .htaccess file, but cannot see that line you are referring to.

php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Set the “ea-php80” package as the default “PHP” programming language.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php80 .php .php8 .phtml

php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

BEGIN cPanel-generated php ini directives, do not edit

Manual editing of this file may result in unexpected behavior.

To make changes to this file, use the cPanel MultiPHP INI Editor (Home >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor)

The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are

dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.

Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.

END WordPress

Hi, seems like it only displayed the contents of the directory because it didn’t find the index.php, in this case you don’t have to do anything with the .htaccess file.

I’m glad I could help you out with your issue 🙂

I really do appreciate your kind assistance. Thank you very much Benni!
