Why won't Apache website subdirectories load index.php unless explicitly requested?
I am setting up an Apache server. There is a main site and if I use the URL http://www.mainsite.com/ (with mainsite subbing for real name) it loads the index.php page just fine.
The site has a subdirectory that also contains an index.html and index.php page. In Firefox, if I specify the URL http://www.mainsite.com/subdir then I get redirected to http://www.com/
In IE, an error says The Page Cannot be Displayed
Yet, if I specify http://www.mainsite.com/subdir/index.php then the index page loads fine.
httpd.conf specifies the directory index directive as:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm
I even tried putting in a .htaccess file with a "DirectoryIndex index.php" directive, no luck.

you need to set a DirectoryIndex for each domain pointing to index.html and index.php if you want it to use both. Using the subdirectory you should always use the www.my.domain/subdir/
as the forward slash is required for lower level directories.
