No index.php found in home link

Hi Everyone and let me say thanks in advance. I have been scouring the posts (I've literally read about 300) and can't find my same problem.

I had a site set up and it was hacked so I needed to start fresh.
I want the store to remain in a subdirectory and not in my root.

my store is installed on graphxfairy.com/gf

All of my home links lead to http://www.graphxfairy.com/gf and report that no index.php is found

I am at a total loss.

Thanks so much for any help.

Re: No index.php found in home link

If there is no index.php file in that folder, then the error messages are correct.

Re: No index.php found in home link

Okay, so it's important to look at the exact error message.

Note the differences here:
http://www.graphxfairy.com/gf/ gives you "/index.php does not exist"
but
http://www.graphxfairy.com/gf/index.php gives you your store.

So, you've got something in your /gf/ folder (either a .htaccess rule or a redirect in an index.html file) that's redirecting the browser to /index.php (not /gf/index.php) when no specific filename is mentioned.

I suspect a rogue .htaccess rule.
