install works, but login fails

  • I have a new installation that won’t let me log in. It appears to have successfully installed and leaves me with login button which goes to

    https://host/wp/wp-login.php

    When I try and log in I get:

    Directory Listing Denied
    This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed and the URL is:

    https://host/wp/wp-admin/

    Shouldn’t it be pointing at a specific file in the admin folder?

    Thanks

    no – the server automatically reads index.php

    it appears your server is not set up for index.php however
    add this line to top of .htaccess
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

    Yes, you are correct. I was sure that was set already. Thanks!

    I’m having a similar problem. I successfully installed WP but went to log in and got this message:

    Directory Listing Denied
    This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

    I couldn’t find an .htaccess file so I created one and added this line:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

    I uploaded it to the root of my wordpress directory, but I’m still getting the directory listing denied message.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!
