System information (as much as possible)

I've tried this on about 10 websites of various hosting, including bluehost, godaddy and my own VPS hosted on linode, and of various PHP version, most of them have this error. However, there are two that don't have this problem, one of them is hosted with ubuntu14.04/apache2/php5.6 on linode, the other is hosted with bluehost sharing host with PHP 5.6 too. Other websites that are hosted with the same linode server and same bluehost sharing host configuration do have this problem.
I've even created 2 brand new joomla installations on linode and bluehost(using one-click install provided by bluehost and mojo marketplace, just for test's sake, but they both have this problem, admin and url are as below
bluehost: http://50.116.80.232/~usbsccom/test/administrator guanliyuan/guanliyuan
linode http://clean.nycweb.io/administrator shenkwen/guanliyuan
For those with this issue: I've tried setting default page component to login, single article, featured article, k2, non works.

Additional comments

I suspect it has to do with server configuration/htaccess, I've compared that of working and non-working ones but couldn't find any major difference. This is a screenshot of the comparison of httpd.conf: http://aabdc.nycweb.io/compare.png, left is of the working one.
