    Change this
    <td><a href="index.php">{$lng.navbar.home}</a></td>

    To:
    <td><a href="/">{$lng.navbar.home}</a></td>

    I would have thought index.php gets accessed by default but maybe some servers don't have this setup

    You cant do this, as it will create an infinite loop. Since mysite.com/ is normally requesting index.php, it will infinitely loop.
