installs fine but after login just does root directory

  • I ran install, installed fine, it emailed me a pssword but when I login I just get a root directory page. Can see all the files in wordpress directory.
    If I try to click index.php it just refreshes directory listing of files.

    I have no htaccess files so not sure what else to check.
    Have installed TWICE but exact same results.

    please help,

  • sounds like your host is not parsing php correctly? Or maybe not recognizing index.php as your index page.

    I’d check with your host to see if they can help.

    as a temp fix…possibly creating a .htaccess file in your root with this
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

    may work…….

    I just created a .htaccess file like you said (no htpasswd file, do I ned one?) and now just get this

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    incidently I made a test.php file
    <?phpinfo();?>

    and it executes ok

    also tried diff htaccess variations

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
    AddHandler x-httpd-php .htm .html

    and

    <FilesMatch “\.(htm|html|php)$”>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5
    </FilesMatch>

    all gave same server error as before

    chmodd is 777
