Apache requires index.php. The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server


After I upgraded to Apache 2.2.22-13+deb7u3 I receive the above error when visiting any page (including phpinfo script) under the /home/www which is set as my DocumentRoot in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. AS it seems index.html is not enough and Apache demands the existence of a index.php file.

If I place index.php in DocumentRoot, then it's executed for any url under the DocumentRoot, even if in that folder a different index.php exists, thus overriding other index.php files in nested directories!
http://cineserver.3p.tuc.gr/ && http://cineserver.3p.tuc.gr/hosted (should be different)

If that was not enough the most peculiar thing is that when the nested directory corresponds to a drupal site the above behaviour is not present!
http://cineserver.3p.tuc.gr/emilvill/en

When I visit pages that reside in virtual directories (/home/mywebsite/), everything is ok.

I also created apache's conf files for custom nested directories under DocumentRoot but it didn't help

My apache default conf file:

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

	DocumentRoot /home/www
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride None
	</Directory>
	<Directory /home/www/>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
		#RewriteEngine On
	</Directory>

	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
	<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
		AllowOverride None
		Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all
	</Directory>

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
	# alert, emerg.
	LogLevel warn

	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Using
Code:
3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3+deb7u2 i686 GNU/Linux
Apache error log (when index.php not present):
Code:
script '/home/www/index.php' not found or unable to stat
Any Ideas? :S

Please post your config files, probably something changed in there.
That will be apaches httpd.conf or apache2.conf (not sure of the name in Ubuntu), and also the config files for virtual hosts.

Also please post directory structure for your web root direcories.

Hello Pingu,
thanks for replying

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
Code:
#NameVirtualHost *:80
#cineserver_VH *:80

# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about
# the directives and /usr/share/doc/apache2-common/README.Debian.gz about
# Debian specific hints.
#
#
# Summary of how the Apache 2 configuration works in Debian:
# The Apache 2 web server configuration in Debian is quite different to
# upstream's suggested way to configure the web server. This is because Debian's
# default Apache2 installation attempts to make adding and removing modules,
# virtual hosts, and extra configuration directives as flexible as possible, in
# order to make automating the changes and administering the server as easy as
# possible.

# It is split into several files forming the configuration hierarchy outlined
# below, all located in the /etc/apache2/ directory:
#
#	/etc/apache2/
#	|-- apache2.conf
#	|	`--  ports.conf
#	|-- mods-enabled
#	|	|-- *.load
#	|	`-- *.conf
#	|-- conf.d
#	|	`-- *
# 	`-- sites-enabled
#	 	`-- *
#
#
# * apache2.conf is the main configuration file (this file). It puts the pieces
#   together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the
#   web server.
#
#   In order to avoid conflicts with backup files, the Include directive is
#   adapted to ignore files that:
#   - do not begin with a letter or number
#   - contain a character that is neither letter nor number nor _-:.
#   - contain .dpkg
#
#   Yet we strongly suggest that all configuration files either end with a
#   .conf or .load suffix in the file name. The next Debian release will
#   ignore files not ending with .conf (or .load for mods-enabled).
#
# * ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is
#   supposed to determine listening ports for incoming connections, and which
#   of these ports are used for name based virtual hosts.
#
# * Configuration files in the mods-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories
#   contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules or virtual
#   host configurations, respectively.
#
#   They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their
#   respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our
#   helpers a2enmod/a2dismod, a2ensite/a2dissite. See
#   their respective man pages for detailed information.
#
# * Configuration files in the conf.d directory are either provided by other
#   packages or may be added by the local administrator. Local additions
#   should start with local- or end with .local.conf to avoid name clashes. All
#   files in conf.d are considered (excluding the exceptions noted above) by
#   the Apache 2 web server.
#
# * The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in
#   the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with
#   /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not
#   work with the default configuration.


# Global configuration

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
#ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"

#
# The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
LockFile ${APACHE_LOCK_DIR}/accept.lock

# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
# This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
#
PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE}

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#

#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.

# DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document

#
# It is also possible to omit any default MIME type and let the
# client's browser guess an appropriate action instead. Typically the

# where no good assumption can be made, letting the default MIME type

There should be a section
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
Add it to the httpd.conf and restart / graceful apache.
