directory index instead of index.php

    i have to work with wordpress 2.0 to match my server’s existing php and mysql versions.

    i’ve followed the installation procedures step by step. install.php was run and the blog created. however, rather than showing the pages index.php and wp-admin/index.php, i get the directory index in the browser. this happens whenever i go to the url of the blog or try to login to admin interface or go from admin interface to view blog.

    i’ve checked and reset the permissions on all wp files already.

    thanks for any suggestions.

  • Suggestion #1 – search
    Suggestion #2 – tell your host to make index.php a valid index file

    1- thanks, i DID search the forum before posting. maybe i didn’t hit the right keyword.

    2- other index.php files on the same server seem to resolve fine. any other ideas?

    I am facing the same problem. I believe the server has index.php as a valid index.

    What can I do?

    If it displays the directory index then it is NOT set.

    Using cPanel, I added a redirection and now it works!

    I’m a little confused over what this other index.php file is also, and what my capabilities might be with it. In my /public directory, I have the WordPress folder and an Index.php file with the contents:
    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
    require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>

    Then I open the wordpress directory to find another index.php file with:

    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>

    In it. Are these both being used? I was mainly wondering because I thought I would be able to point a subdomain to the directory or index file before the wordpress directory. Does that make sense?
