Have you tried with adding this line to .htaccess: DirectoryIndex first.html index.htm index.html index.php. This should handle the problem of using index.php as index page as it is alternating the directory index file.

The domain "apex" is the registered domain (without any subdomains), eg. example.com.

| Dec 5, 2020 at 1:44 | comment | added | Nathanael | I am my hosting provider in that I own the Synology disk station the site is running on. The standard solution for mapping a domain to a subdirectory in Synology is virtual hosts, but for some reason this works with index.html files but NOT index.php files like Joomla uses and I am not sure why. Also yes, I have an HTTPS certificate for the domain example.com and www.example.com (what is a domain apex?) and if I manually type https into the URL bar any page in my Joomla site will switch to https without issue. | |
| Dec 5, 2020 at 1:09 | comment | added | MrWhite | "HTTPS .... is not available on this server." - Do you have a SSL certificate installed that covers both the www subdomain and domain apex? ie. the site needs to be accessible over HTTPS (without browser warnings) before any attempt can be made to force/redirect to HTTPS. | |
