Title: index.php is missing…deliberately Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # index.php is missing…deliberately * [oldmankit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oldmankit/) * (@oldmankit) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-is-missingdeliberately/) * I would be really grateful for some help with this problem. I’m sure it is simple when I found out! * I checked my server logs and find only one error, which is repeated from various ip addresses, including my own: `[error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist:/ home/peaceand/public_html/index.php` * I know the file does not exist. My home page is index.html. I don’t need php for my home page. I have two wordpress installations, both in subdirectories of public_html. But I don’t think they’re relevant because they are in subdirectories. * This problem is happening at my home page and [http://peaceandtruth.com/contact.html](http://peaceandtruth.com/contact.html) only. And it is intermittent. * Try loading my home page with firebug net panel running. [http://peaceandtruth.com](http://peaceandtruth.com) * If you press refresh several times, you should at some point see ‘Get peaceandtruth. com aborted’, in red writing. The following line says ‘get peaceandtruth.com 304 not modified’. * Can anyone help me find out where this error is coming from? * Here is my .htaccess file: * ``` Options -Indexes # uncomment this option if hotlink protection fails to work Options +FollowSymLinks # verify presence of mod rewrite # enable the rewrite engine RewriteEngine on # check that file exists RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f # check for requested file types # include additional file types here RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(gif|jpe?g?|png)$ [NC] # allow blank referrer requests RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ # allow all requests from your domain # edit the domain to match your own #RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https?://([^.]+\.)?peaceandtruth.com\.([^.]+\.)?

Could you explain a bit more please? * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-is-missingdeliberately/#post-2015053) * I think it speaks for itself but . . . loaded your contact page and/or home page in ff with firebug running. Refreshed each 10-12 times. No error message. Checked source code. Checked validation. No visible errors. * In other words, unable to duplicate. * Thread Starter [oldmankit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oldmankit/) * (@oldmankit) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-is-missingdeliberately/#post-2015171) * Oh sorry, I didn’t understand. Now I get it. Thanks for checking for me. * That’s funny. I tried again today. Cleared my cache…on the sixth refresh I got the same error. It’s not just my ip address, according to the logs. * It’s crazy. I’ve searched for any links in /home/peaceand/public_html to index. php, and can’t any. * I’m stumped!
