Dashboard Shows Posts but web shows directory tree

https://spectron.net/wordpress/wp-admin/ doesn’t work either, but https://spectron.net/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php does. I believe that is a web server setup issue, not a WordPress issue. WordPress built-in redirection will be stopping https://spectron.net/wordpress/index.php from working because https://spectron.net/wordpress/ doesn’t work either.

On second thought, this could also be an .htaccess issue. Could you post the contents of .htacess files on both the root of your web site and in the /wordpress/ folder?

Root .htaccess file is:

DirectoryIndex welcome.html welcome.shtml index.html index.shtml home.html home.shtml welcome.htm index.htm default.htm home.htm

there is no .htaccess file in the wordpress directory

Three educated guesses on things worth trying. Do one at a time, then test, then, if it doesn’t work, restore things to the way they were. No promises now:

1. rename .htaccess in the root to old.htaccess;
2. delete .htaccess in the root;
3. add index.php to the end of the DirectoryIndex list

Thanks tried them and still same issue. Server host is Verio who does support WordPress.

https://spectron.net/wordpress/ works for me now. Try refreshing your browser.

Just tried something on a whim, googled .htaccess for wordpress and found a post in one of the wordpress forums for a suggested .htaccess file.

Created it in notepad with this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Uploaded to root ans when i go to spectron.net/wordpress i still get the directory tree but, now if I click on spectron.net/wordpress/index.php the page now loads whereas before it did not. So how do i get the spectron.net/wordpress to load the index.php?

Both https://spectron.net/wordpress and https://spectron.net/wordpress/ works for me now.

I’m using the latest version of Firefox.

I got it now. Replacing REQUEST_FILENAME with index.php loads the index.page!
