Hey there! What errors do you get when you try and visit that page in a browser? Do you see any relevant logs in the Apache log at /etc/apache2/logs/error_log?

Thanks for the additional details. It looks like there is a problem with the .htaccess configuration on the domain. Can you renmae /home/username/public_html/.htaccess to .htaccess.bak so it can't be read by the system, and see if the PHP page loads? If so, you'll need to adjust the redirects for PHP in the .htaccess file, as that is what is causing the issue.

 

[Tarak Nath]

Thank you for the prompt response.
I don't think so as we have tired the same by rename the htaccess file.
Even we have created a subdomain and there is no any htaccess file. Like:
Subdomain name: testxyz.domain2.com
Subdomain doc root directory: /testxyz.domain2.com [ under home not in public_html]

And the issue still persist.

Please help.

 

[cPRex]

Is it possible your PHP code isn't working properly and causing that redirect issue? What if you use this code?

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

 

[Tarak Nath]

Yes, that's also we have tried and getting 403 forbidden error.

 

[cPRex]

*Something* is causing the redirect issue on the domain. Are there any other .htaccess file on the account, possibly in /home/username?

 

[Tarak Nath]

Yes there is a htaccess with the following contents:

<FilesMatch ".(py|exe|php)$">
 Order allow,deny
 Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "^(about.php|radio.php|index.php|content.php|lock360.php|admin.php|wp-login.php)$">
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

 

[cPRex]

And what happens if you also rename that one temporarily?

 

[Tarak Nath]

Yes, now it's working.
Thank you so much for your support and time.

 

[cPRex]

If you can adjust some of those redirects you can likely resolve the issue, or you may find you might not need that higher-level .htaccess file at all.

 

[Tarak Nath]

Yes, we don't need that one. Thank you for your support.
Have a great day ahead. Bye for now
Please mark this ticket as RESOLVED.

Hello,

Reopening this thread again as the said htaccess file auto generating even deleted.

Dont know how can I stopt it. Could you please help me

 

[cPRex]

It would be best to open a ticket - with us, if you have root access to the serer, or with your hosting provider if you only have access to the cPanel.
