Hi everyone!

I'm new to this, but trying my best  ;D
So i installed a new smf forum and everything is OK, except it won't open without /index.php at the end of webaddress.
When i type in just a domain its says, This site is under development.  Adding /index.php to the end of webaddress works fine.

Please someone help me, how can i fix it.

Thanks & Regards

Most hosts will have things setup so that they load index.html, index.htm or index.php automatically if one exists, and if more than one exists then usually .html takes priority over .php
You may want to make sure you don't have multiple index.* files on the webroot, and if you don't - then ask your host to check why you need the direct address to index.php :)

You can work around this if you have access to your .htaccess file.

This file should be in the root of your web server, just open it and add the following to the top;

Redirect / http://forum.mydomain.org/index.php [nofollow]

Cheers!
