Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

Can anybody help me ,
How to direct the users to the login page always ?
I have deployed Mantis on an Apache Server 2.2.4 & the directory structure being
"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\mantis"
The url to the login page is "http://localhost/mantis/login_page.php".
Now if the user types only "http://localhost/mantis" & clicks on the GO button, he is directed to a page, where he can see the links to all the core PHP files.
I do not want this to happen. I need to customize such that even though the user enter only "http://localhost/mantis/" he should be directed to the Login page.
Please give me the details regarding to which file i have to edit & the path to access that file.

With Advance Thanks,
Polarbear

It seems that some files are missing. I recommend you to reinstall Mantis by re-downloading the package.

Hi..

Redownloading & reinstallation of the Mantis folder hasn't worked.
It doesn't seems that the files are going missing, as the size old mantis directory is the same as that of the newly downloaded one.
Can anyone help me on this regard?

Hi,

Do you have an index.php file in your Mantis directory?

Hi..
index.php is available in the Mantis folder.
How does this file is going to help me?
Because this file takes care of authenticating a user.
But i need a solution for redirecting the user always to the login page even though he enters "http://localhost/mantis" url.
Right now the user is directed to a page where he can see the links for all the PHP files in the Mantis directory when he enters the above url.
Can anyone help me?

In the Apache configuration file, add index.php to the DirectoryIndex value.

By example in my Apache configuration file I have:
