It works. How go public?

    The real title of the message should be “I have all the individual WordPress php pages working, but now how do I get them them to play together?” ..the simple stuff everybody else already knows…

    What page should a public user arrive at? login.php? index.php? When I log in to my own private system, I’m dropped back to the raw directory list of files (not posts, but actual wordpress files in the install directory). The only way I’ve been able to use WordPress is to manually select .php files from a file directory menu. This can’t be right. What am I missing? Shouldn’t the entire WordPress exprience be seamless once a user arrives at the first page?

    I used the above title because my goal is to go public, but it appears dysfunctional as an experience, even though each page seems to work fine.

  • You should start at index.php

    I’m dropped back to the raw directory list of files
    Your server is not set up correctly = it doesn’t recognize index.php as valid index file. Talk to your host.

    Thank-you moshu, eetdcob.

    Actually, my host is me in this case, so I rooted around my Apache config files. In this file:
    C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf,
    I added the last of what is now 3 filenames:

    # DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
    # directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
    #
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    </IfModule>

    All works well, now.
