How to parse index.php in server root by default in HipHop / HHVM (and fix the “404 File Not Found” error)?

Question

Reproduceable problem description:

When installing HipHop / HHVM via the official way [ 1 ][ 2 ], and then running the built-in server [ 3 ] from /var/www via

cd /var/www
sudo hhvm -m server

it will render a custom "404 File Not Found" message to the browser, regardless of /var/www's contents when moving to the server's root:

http://111.111.111.111/

However, HipHop will run perfectly when a filename is given, like

http://111.111.111.111/index.php

Filling the index.php with phpinfo() will also show "hiphop" as feedback, indicating that this PHP file is correctly parsed by HipHop.

Question:

How to let HipHop's server run index.php (etc.) by default when navigating to the server's root, like Nginx and Apache do ?

Update:

Seems to be a common issue: [ 4 ], [ 5 ]

Answer 1

According to the documentation , the config.hdf file has a DefaultDocument directive. Set that.

Answer 2

对于HHVM 3.0，您可以在ini配置文件中使用以下命令指定它：

  hhvm.server.default_document = index.php
