Good day, I've set up my server online over DigitalOcean, I followed their guides on how to set up an Ubuntu 14.04.x x64 server, setting up a LAMP stack, and installing phpMyAdmin. Everything is working fine, the mySite.com shows the apache setup page. However, when I uploaded my new index.html (located at /var/www/html/index.html file (I renamed the default one to index-default.html) and then refreshed my site, instead of showing my site, it shows Index Of/. I tried mySite.com/index.html and it works. It's just a bit of a hassle to have the user type in mySite.com/index.html and I know it can work with just mySite.com. I opened up FileZilla to check if this may be caused by the difference of the permissions and ownership, and they were initially different. I updated the permissions and ownership and now they have the same sets:

Index Files

where index-default.html was the default apache index page and index.html is my new one.

I saw this question and this question, however, these mainly point to redirecting the default directory to /var/www instead of /var/www/html and I'm sitting quite comfortably over at my /var/www/html and would like to work from there.

I feel like I'm overlooking something relatively simple. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Fixed it.

I ran sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf

And then I saw that it didn't say index.html. It had index.php twice.

It now reads

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
