Xitami www.address.tld/ Problems

[jargonccna]

Hey, what's up. I'm having some problems getting PHP to work with my Xitami properly. If I go to /index.php, the page arrives, but if I just try /, Xitami spits a 403 error at me. Any thoughts?

It's not recognising that the index.php is an alternative index file to index.html/htm.

Change it under the Admin>Configuration section where it says
Default HTML page:

It probably says: index.htm 'Then' default.htm
You need to add index.php into the next box.

I did, that's the thing. I even tried setting Xitami to use index.php as the first index page; no dice. Should I post up the contents of my config files..? Maybe somebody could see what's wrong..

[klyve1]

IT may be stating the obvious but have you restarted the webserver?

Over and over again. I have it set up to automatically update from the config files every 10 seconds anyway.

That's that one out then!

Which version are you running and yes, can you post the config (or attach it if possible) and I'll take a look in comparison to mine.

Again, thanks for the help.

Well I've had a couple of play arounds and can't match your problems, sorry.

One possibility is that something in the xitami.cfg is causing problems - this file shouldn't be edited, that's what the defaults.cfg is for (see the 'warning'(!) header of xitami.cfg).

I see that the xitami.cfg has extra lines for the defaults section (mine only has 1 & 2) and then it's doubled up in the defaults.cfg.

I.e. My defaults.cfg has:
[Server]
Cgi-bin = "d:\\httptest\\cgibin"
Debug = "1"
Default3 = "index.php"
Priority = "3"
Webpages = "d:/httptest/htdocs"

I have no clue what the Priority 3 is or where it comes from(!)

One possibility is that the wrong files are being read, are the .cfg's in the Xitami folder?

I can't think of anything else to check at the moment... if I do I'll let you know.

Another thought....
I'm assuming you get a 'Error 403: Forbidden' message and this shows because the webserver canot find a matching index file as set in the defaults...... so, is your index.php exactly that and not Index.php?
