I was trying to achieve that, If someone opens the URL /login then It should open the /login/index.php file. and it requires that multiviews needs to be enabled, I found the below options

1.Adding in the .htacces

<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
    Options MultiViews
</IfModule>

  1. Add the multiview option to your apache conf file, like below

     <Directory /var/www/sites/foo/>
 Options +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Indexes
 DirectoryIndex index.php
 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

but these solutions didn't work.

  • "/login then It should open the /login/index.php" - this has nothing to do with MultiViews (which is part of mod_negotiation, as your first example suggests). To achieve this you would need to set `DirectoryIndex index.php` (part of mod_dir - a _base_ module), as in your second example. (Your first example explicitly disabled MultiViews anyway.) What was actually happening when `/login` was requested? Did you restart Apache after making changes to the server config? Did you edit the correct place in the server config? – MrWhite Sep 11 '22 at 18:03
  • @MrWhite Thanks for the comments. - I edited the question and removed the - before Multiviews, It was mistakenly added. - I restarted the server many times and edited the correct files - but when I made the changes in the mime.conf, I got the desired results – Mahak Choudhary Sep 12 '22 at 10:54

Finally, I found the below solution that worked for me, hope It will help someone else too.

Here is the solution :

open the below file

sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf

Find the below line in the file

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html .htm

Uncomment(If commented) and add .php If It does not contain it. Restart the server

sudo service apache2 restart

    This would imply that Apache was not configured to parse `.php` files? However, doing this is no different than the second example in your question, which would perhaps imply you were either editing the wrong file or did not restart Apache? – MrWhite Sep 11 '22 at 18:04
