Description Rimas Kudelis 2023-11-28 16:13:49 UTC 
I'm running Apache 2.4.52 on Ubuntu 22.04.

Let's say I have a WordPress website and want to access `/wp-admin/`.

A configuration like this:

```
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm
FallbackResource /index.php
```

works as expected: opening `/wp-admin/` launches `/wp-admin/index.php`, which exists.

However, if `DirectoryIndex` file names are rearranged and `index.php` is no longer first in the list:

```
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm
FallbackResource /index.php
```

opening `/wp-admin/` disregards the existing `/wp-admin/index.php` and launches `/index.php` instead, which (in case of WordPress) causes a redirection loop in which the page keeps redirecting to itself.
