[SOLVED]Apache refusing to server index.php by default

Hi I've followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP and set up a working LAMP environment. phpinfo(); ran fine from the url localhost/test.php

I've now added index.php to the DirectoyIndex option in my httpd.conf restarted the server and added a simple index.php script to /srv/http.

I'd expect this to be displayed when visiting just localhost in my browser but instead I'm getting the directory file listing.

I've also got vhosts setup point to a zend application install in another location which seems to have similar issues http://vhostsite doesn't seem to run index.php. If I copy test.php into the public folder and visit http://vhostsite/test.php the phpinfo(); command is displayed.

So short version: apache won't automatically serve index.php when hitting a directory.

Any advice appreciated,

Thanks in advance.

Double-check the configuration file for typos.

It would be easier to help diagnose the problem if you posted your configuration file (at least the relevant sections thereof).

Ok,

I had a DirectoryIndex line in the vhost overriding the httpd.conf file >.>

Now I can hit index files fine when just visiting the directory but with my zend app it seems to be ignoring my htaccess file. when I go to http://vhost/news it's looking for a news file rather than sending the query string through index.php

I believe I've not solved this by adding

AllowOverride FileInfo

in the directory block of the vhost
