Adnetwork not validating one solution

    Thought I would post this here for someone elses benefit

    My host used the following in an index.html to redirect to index.php for some reason.


    <HTML>
    <BODY>
    <script>
    document.location="/index.php";
    </script>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>


    This obviously messed up validating the site.

    Renaming this to something else e.g. oldindex.html solved the problem.
    Also worth checking the httpd.conf for the following line

    #
    # DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
    # directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
    #
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php ...
    </IfModule>

    The index.php bit is the most important and if its only php you use you can delete the rest so it reads

    #
    # DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
    # directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
    #
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    </IfModule>

    but do yourself a favour and comment out the old line and write a new line so that in 6 months time when you are scratching your head why index.htm? isn't working and you are reviewing your conf file it hits you smack in the face :D

    So it would look like

    #
    # DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
    # directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
    #
    #Deleted irrelevant stuff on xx/xx/xxxx
    # DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php ...
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    </IfModule>


    Hope this helps

    For Apache, you can also do this in a .htaccess file, and it's also useful to list many different types of indexes, and Apache will show the first one in the list:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm default.php default.html default.htm

    Apache will search for:
    index.php
    then index.html
    then index.htm ... etc
