Question Apache 2.4 - every page in my site works, expect home

Tassos Voulgaris · May 18, 2018

I have recently upgraded to Apache 2.4 and I am experiencing a strange problem. Every page in my Wordpress site works fine, except the homepage , which getS downloaded instead of displaying (with a filename of download)...

Before the update everything was working fine.

Other sites on the same server work fine

my .htaccess is pretty standard

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I have mod_rewrite enabled in apache

PHP 7.0.27 is properly configured and runs as FPM application

Nothing in the logs indicates an error...

Permissions are file owner are OK

apache2.conf:

Code:

# Global configuration

#ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"

#
# The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
#Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default

I am very confused that only the homepage is not working...

Any ideas are welcome...

maybe you will find the solution from Knowledgebase: [HUB] Apache default page is shown

Cristian Rodriguez · May 19, 2018

At line DirectoryIndex you are using quote marks to separate each, have you try removing them?

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Yes, try to remove them.
