Wordpress problem No Index active

[CashDroid]

Hello,
I have a VPS on Contabo and I have activated a new Wordpress site. Although everything is fine, I access the dashboard and all internal articles, categories and tags without problems, but when I access the home page I only see the Index Of section with a list of all the files and folders in the folder as I have problems accessing to the /WP-ADMIN section.

I solved by disabling the Indices as per attachment but this creates SEO problems for me and also now by accessing the dash /wp-admin error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS appears.

The .htaccess file is correct and the error occurs both before and after switching to HTTPS.
I tried them all, even reinstalling the cPanel but the problem cannot be solved except by turning off the indexes but I would like to reactivate them.

Do you have a solution?
Thank you very much

CentOS 7.6
cPanel & WHM version 80.0.14
WP 5.2.1

Hi @CashDroid


What is in the .htaccess can you provide the full file here (change actual domain name before providing it)

What is the output you get when you run the following:

curl -vv yourdomain.tld

What is set for the Site Address and Wordpress Address in the general settings of WordPress?

Hi @cPanelLauren,
my .htaccess is

# 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>

Attached is the result of the curl command

In Wordpress Address i have

https://www.example.com

Thanks for all

Hi @CashDroid


Thanks for providing that information. Can you please open a ticket using the link in my signature? Once open please reply with the Ticket ID here so that we can update this thread with the resolution once the ticket is resolved.

I was hoping to match this to a case we have open currently but it seems to only be affecting CloudLinux systems and you're running CentOS 7.


Thanks!

Established that it is not a cPanel problem I solved by inserting the string "Directoryindex index.php" in the .htaccess file. On the VPS that I manage, it has never happened to me.
How can I check the index in Apache?

The final solution is to fix this problem, it is to reconfigure the Directory Index configuration with the following steps:

- Login to WHM as the root user
- Navigate to: Home »Service Configuration» Apache Configuration »DirectoryIndex Priority
- Click the save button
- Click the Rebuild Apache configuration and Restart Apache button

So you don't even have to edit the .htaccess file

Interesting though, you shouldn't have needed to rebuild the apache configuration without having made any changes - I actually believe this relates to an internal case we have open: CPANEL-27677 in which it's found that Apache does not have DirectoryIndex set to anything (saving and rebuilding the configuration would fix this)

This issue is resolved in v82 of cPanel and should be resolved in the current RELEASE version of cPanel/WHM 80.0.15
