Hello Marcus,

I have had a look at your issue and I am quietly confident that with a minor adjustment to your server configuration it can be resolved.  I feel that the issue lies with the server as opposed to WebSite X5.

I'm not sure how comfortable you are with making changes to your hosting setup yourself using cPanel or similar, but if you're unsure then your webhost will be able to assist you.

You need to set the DirectoryIndex on the 'blog' subfolder (within the WebSite X5 root folder on the server) so that it serves an 'index.php' file when requested.  At the moment there is no index set on this folder at all.

If using cPanel change the directory setting for the 'blog' folder from No Indexing to Default System Setting.

If you need further instructions or guidance please revert to us.

Kind regards,

Paul
