After WHM account move, bizarre HTML rendering issue

[wa4fat]

I recently migrated numerous account from an aging server to a new machine. The new server is running WHM 11.23.2, cPanel 11.23.4-S26138, CENTOS Enterprise 5.2 and Apache/2.0.63.

Here's the issue -- index files don't render correctly, exhibiting really unusual behavior. As an example, here's an index.html file within a directory which shows instead a directory listing.

http://americanvillage.org/mock/

There is no .htaccess file in this directory, and the server-wide DirectoryIndex settings begin with :
index.html index.shtml index.htm index.php

The ownership appears fine, and the permissions also seem correct.

What in the world am I overlooking ... any ideas?

Thanks!

it appears there is some problem with basic apache settings in the server.

Even, http://americanvillage.org/mock/index.html is not working. so, check whether mime type settings are correct in the server

There was a bogus mime type, which has now been removed.

The basic problem still exists, however.

index.html should display by default when someone accesses the http://americanvillage.org/mock/

... but the directory contents is displayed instead.

Selecting the index.html file displays the file normally.

Too weird ... any ideas?
