How come I can only visit the subdomain if I include the index.php in the address?

Question

How come I can only visit the subdomain, e.g. subdomain.domain.com, if I include index.php?

subdomain.domain.com, doesn't work.

subdomain.domain.com/index.php works.

do I have to change something in the httpd.conf file?

I'm sorry if that's a stupid question, I just couldn't figure it out myself.

You need to specify index.php in the DirectoryIndex of your httpd.conf. It is not included by default.
