Vanilla not auto-loading index.php file

Some weeks ago I tried a Vanilla forums installation and everything seemed to work fine. Today, on the same machine, I installed the latest build and the links like the logo link /mysite/vanilla are broken, showing the folder view instead of the main page (which works fine if I type </mysite/vanilla/index.php> instead.

That happens which every link targeting a <mysite/vanilla/folder/> formatted URL instead of a <mysite/vanilla/folder/file.extension>one, so my wild guess is that something must be broken on the page loader/resolver.

    Is .htaccess in the folder?

    grep is your friend.

    Of course it is! It's a vanilla installation (no pun intended xD). The contain is as follows:

    # Original
    # If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       # Certain hosts may require the following line.
       # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. 
       # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
       # RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
    </IfModule>
    

    And it must work fine...-ish , because if I type /mysite/vanilla/blasjfdoiajfeakl it correctly redirects me to the custom Vanilla 404 page.

    Your server is the problem. It shows directory content instead of loading the index file. Add this at the top of your .htaccess file:

    DirectoryIndex index.php

    You want to prevent directly listing anyway

    https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DirectoryListings

    See the information about DirectoryIndex

    You wan to configure your server rule properly rather than rely on .htaccess if possible.

    grep is your friend.
