Hi,

I am new to drupal, I have configured drupal in apache+php+windows, data base is in mysql. The configuration process went smoothly and it took me to administrator logged in mode. But from there I am not able to select any option, it always took me to directory listing. When I checked the URL I found it's missing index.php in it. The URL is as below

http://localhost:8080/?q=admin%2Fpeople&

If I edit the URL manually on address bar to

http://localhost:8080/index.php?q=admin%2Fpeople&

I am able to view the page.

Could any one please suggest where it went wrong on my end. Is there any settings which I need to correct

The problem is due to Apache not looking for index.php - this is usually due to the line

DirectoryIndex index.php

not being in the site's .htaccess file.

Is it possible that you haven't got this file in your site's root?

Pete, I am also facing the same problem. The line "DirectoryIndex index.php" is present as follows in .htaccess file on my windows machine:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

Any idea what the problem for missing index.php from URLs of Drupal links?

The problem was resolved once I added index.php to httpd.conf file of Apache web server and restarted the server.

The following is the entry in the file after I modified:

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
