Apache not finding index.php by default

I'm getting the following message when I'm trying to go to this url: example.com/couch/ The requested URL /couch/.php was not found on this server. Notice that it just says .php instead of index.php. I already have index.php at the top of the directory index (image below) and there is an index.php file in the directory. - Removed please attach images to your posts - I've also added the following to my root directory's .htaccess file: DirectoryIndex index.php And, going directly to example.com/couch/index.php brings me to the correct page. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm missing? Thanks!

  Hello :) Are there any additional entries in this .htaccess file, or any additional entries in .htaccess files in parent directories? Thank you.

  Hi Michael, Here is my entire .htaccess file. RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L] DirectoryIndex index.php This file is in the /home/username/public_html directory and there are no .htaccess files above the public_html directory. Thanks!

  Could you temporarily remove those Mod_Rewrite rules, and test loading the page in a different browser or after clearing the cache in the existing browser? Thank you.

  Hi Michael, It turns out another developer added an .htaccess file that fixed the issue so I can't troubleshoot this any further. You can close the ticket. Thanks.
