Show default apache file in browser instead of index.php?

Question

LAMP

Good evening! On the virtual machine, I created a local site test-lamp.local Only after launching it in the browser of the virtual machine, instead of the contents of the index.php file, I get the default apache page. Please advise why this is happening? Why doesn't the index.php page work???

Answer 1

Apparently, either your virtual host is not enabled, or the DocumentRoot in it points to the wrong folder (most likely, to the default one where the stub page is located)

Answer 2

Check the contents of the file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
It should be like this, in the first place is index.php and not index.html.

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>

It is also possible due to the fact that the virtual host was configured incorrectly.
