[users@httpd] How to browse to index.php OR index.html on WordPress site?
I have a WordPress site that works. If my
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename.conf file is set with the
"DirectoryIndex index.php" directive, all is well, and pointing a
web-browser to http://sitename.org loads the sitename's index.php file as
it should.
But I need to temporarily put up a dummy site, consisting of just a very
simply index.html file. That's easy enough; I create the index.html file,
and then change the sitename.conf file to "DirectoryIndex index.html" and
restart Apache2. All is good.
But I still need to manually be able to get to the full-blown .php-based
site. When I web-browse to sitename/index.php, it reroutes to
sitename/index.html. If I change the .conf file to "DirectoryIndex
index.html index.php" and restart Apache2, that doesn't help.
It seems I can serve index.html OR index.php, but not both at the same time
(depending on the URL entered into the web-browser's URL bar).
Bonus points after getting this to work: Adding a button in the
"index.html" file that allows the viewer to "Click here to get to Full
Site" that points to "index.php".
I've been googling all morning and part of last night to figure this out,
with no joy. Thanks for any help you can throw my way!

I'm not understanding how to make this work. I added:
<virtualhost 127.0.0.1:80>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</virtualhost>
to the bottom of my sitename.conf file, and successfully restarted Apache2,
but I can't figure out what to do from there.

one idea:
<virtualhost *:80>
...
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</virtualhost>
# Access via an ssh tunnel.
<virtualhost 127.0.0.1:80>
...
DirectoryIndex index.php

Not as far as I can see, no.
move the .htaccess file out of your web root, or rename it. See if the behavior persists.

The beer keg is Wordpress, which you installed.

We have. Eliminate the rewrites/redirects.
The fact is that what you want to do is the DEFAULT behavior of apache. It will serve the file you ask for UNLESS something else tells it not to.
Basically, you are asking "How do i get water to come out of a faucet instead of beer" and we're saying "unhook the beer keg from your water line" and you're saying "that doesn't tell me how to get water out of my faucet".

Become a expert is not necessary, but you "must" do better cause you

It is a real job but non-professional can do it.
It's a big work to learn it by own-self.
My apologies, I correct: It's a big work.

Maybe I don't understand but don't you have an address like those :
/etc/httpd/sites-available
/etc/apache2/sites-available
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/
The file "wp.conf" goes to /etc/apache2/[the good rep] but
WP's files need to go in /srv/www (depending your version and OS)
I never seen "/etc/wordpress/".
Wich versionS do you use ?

And yet, no one's been able to tell me how to do it. Nor does Google seem
to have the answer (although the flaw may be in my google-fu, not in the
actual lack of an answer).

Well, instead of becoming more of an expert than the experts I asked, I had
hoped the experts I asked could tell me how to do it.
I understand that setting up/monitoring a server is not a birth gift, and I
hope I haven't left that impression. If so, I apologize. On the other hand,
does running a mom&pop web-site require a full-time professional career
commitment?

This is the way Debian does it; as I understand it, this file *is* a conf
file, and not a public file.
No, "sitename" is not the real address.

Ha! You're a genius! You're the expert with the answer!
To sum up:
I changed my DNS settings with my domain registrar to include "beta." at
the front of my domain name, so that I can browse to either sitename.org or
beta.sitename.org.
I made a couple of config changes to the /etc/wordpress and
/etc/apache2/sites-* dirs (documented earlier in this thread).
I went to sitename.org/wp-admin/options-general.php and added "beta." to
the Wordpress URL and the site URL fields.
I added a link to index.html pointing to beta.sitename.org/index.php.
Now I can browse to index.html, and then click on the link to go to the
beta site.
Thanks to you, and to all who responded!

It is not. Just need to learn more: set-up and monitor a server is not
a birth gift but it's possible by yourself (see below).

Depending your system, those public files should be
in /var/www/ or /srv/www or something like this.
/etc/ is reserved to all conf files.

Commenting all rewrite rules is a good test, but it's probably better
to try this 1st:
Modify your WP conf here ->
https://domain.tld/wp-admin/options-general.php
{ WordPress Address (URL), Site Address (URL) }¹
Beside of it, it can need 24-48h to complete DNS propagation around
the world.
It should be useful to read the documentation for your OS and
additional software that you could use like Apache².
About security, minimum is to known how to make a good configuration
with iptables, ssh³, fail2ban⁴, how to monitor your server and of
course, harden an operating system⁵.
WP is one of the most "attacked" CMS. It can be a good practice to add
additional access control on the admin part (why not starting with
mod_auth_basic⁶?). It's also probably good to learn and use a tool
like "Jetpack"⁷.
¹ https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen
² and secure it. With ssl directives but also others

Okay, I added those three lines to my
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename.conf file:
.
.
.
DirectoryIndex index.html
# DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
.
.
.
and restarted Apache2.
Now when I browse to sitename.org, I get the index.html file, and when I
browse to sitename.org/index.php, I still get the index.html file. So
nothing has changed.
I'm still doing something wrong?

I'd be happy to go the .htaccess route, but at this point, I don't have a
clue as to where to begin with this information you've provided. I think
you've only demonstrated that .htaccess has complexity, not that you've
demonstrated the specific complexity I'm needing to reach my goal?
Thanks!

Which I am able to do. In fact, something has to specifically tell apache to NOT load a file that is specified by a full path. DirectoryInde only affects what loads the you laid a path ending in /

The global config files will not override index.html to index.php, but the .htaccess might.
Googling for a wordpress .htaccess I see the default config contains MANY rewriting conditions.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^webdav
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

No; it's my understanding that anything I can do in an .htaccess file I can
do in the main global config files, that they're mostly just for overrides
to those global config files, so I've just focused on the main global
config files.
But if .htaccess will solve my problem, I'm happy to go that route.
Thanks, though!

I have, in http.conf:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>
Which loads index.php by default if it's present, otherwise index.html
Neither 'redirects' to the other.
I've never used a site.conf in this way, but I have overridden the default in a site conf:
DirectoryIndex index.htm
for example.
Wordpress has a pretty complicated .htaccess file, did you check there?

Are your lines above something I should put verbatim into my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename.conf file, or am I supposed to tailor them to my specific settings, and if so, I really have no idea how to go about doing that.
I don't use Wordpress, but wordpress rewrites URLs via commands it puts in .htaccess. I suspect if you comment those lines, what you are doing will sort of work (you'll be able to load the index file you want) but wordpress will break.
I'd start by commenting the whole thing out to test, (or moving it aside)
But as I said, wordpress itself will likely break.
The issue here is not Apache per se, it is the way that wordpress works. Loading a different index is something it is specifically designed to prevent. This is a good idea for the vast majority of WordPress users; and I mean like 99.999% of them.
Also check for Rewrite conditions in http.conf and the <Virtualhost ...> => <Directory ...> portion of the domain conf.

I am afraid you cannot do that then. If you have no DNS entry for

Ah, yes, I was still fundamentally misunderstanding what I was supposed to
be doing.
So, I went to "google.domains.com" and logged in to tinker with my domain
settings, and now I've added a "Registered host", just by adding the
"beta." to the front of my sitename - same address.
But I'm guessing that's not enough, because I'm still getting a "not found"
error.

But the DNS entries for "sitename.org" are maintained somewhere, by
somebody, just ask them to add the subdomain.

If you own sitename.org already beta.sitename.org is only a subdomain. No
need to buy another domain. If you want a completely different domain
(change sitename.org to something completely different) you would have to
of course.
In your DNS zone you just need to make an entry for beta.sitename.org which
points to the ip of the server. As just written in the meantime... somebody
has to take care of DNS handling

Almost got it.
After making those changes, I made one more change:
cp /etc/wordpress/config-sitename.org /etc/wordpress/
config-beta.sitename.org
chown www-data:www-date /etc/wordpress/config-beta.sitename.org
But when I go any deeper than the front page, it redirects back to
index.html, just like it did when I did the much simpler "index1.php"
method earlier. Bummer.

Ah, so yes, I was still fundamentally misunderstanding what I'm supposed to
do.
So I've gone to domains.google.com to tinker with my domain name; I've
added a "Registered host", just be adding a line with the "beta." added to
the front of the address, and I've added a "Custom resource record", by
adding a "beta" line.
But I'm still getting a "cannot find" error on the beta site.

Well, I can on the box (/etc/hosts), but not on the network, at least not

So I did:
cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/sitename.org /etc/apache2/sites-available/
beta.sitename.org
Then edited the beta.sitename.org, changing the "DirectoryIndex index.html"
to "DirectoryIndex index.php", and changing "ServerName sitename.org" to
"ServerName beta.sitename.org".
Then I created the symlink ("a2ensite beta.sitename.org").
Then I restarted Apache2 ("systemctl restart apache2").
Now when I web-browse to "sitename.org" I get the .html file as expected,
but when I browse to "beta.sitename.org" I get "Hmm. We're having trouble
finding that site."

Hello,
vhost = virtual host = 1 web site (short way)
You need one file per vhost in sites-available/
Wath I suggest is to configure -for ex.- :
- vhostA with domain.tld
DirectoryIndex index.html
- vhostB with sub.domain.tld (actual WP)
DirectoryIndex index.php
I would like to point a detail:
This directive
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
mean
serve index.php 1st if exists else serve index.html 1st
Am I better for understanding?

I apologize for being uneducated about Apache2, but I'm not quite up on
"vhost". Are your lines above something I should put verbatim into my

them to my specific settings, and if so, I really have no idea how to go

Hello,
is the simplest way be something like this (?) :
vhost1 : actual WP conf
vhost2 : DocumentRoot = WP directory
DirectoryIndex index.html
In index.html, the button links to vhost1/index.php.
Have a good day,

That almost works. It allows me to open the index(1).php home page from my
link in index.html, but if I try to go any deeper, it loads the index.html
(while, interestingly, having the .php's deeper-level URL in the URL
address bar of the web-browser). So apparently, the rest of the .php-based
site expects its own index.php file to exist.
