wordpress installation – URL showing ‘index of’

Your web server needs to be configured to recognize index.php as a default page.

One way to do that is to this to your .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Or you could contact your host for help.

Thanks Chris_K.

o.k. When I added a new .htaccess file to my root directory, I only recieved “index of” when typing in web address.

What am I missing here?

Here’s how my files are structured in my File Manager:

1. root /public_html

2. root/public_html/wordpress (directory)

3. root/public_html/wordpress/newslogue (directory)

4. And then all of the other files appear:

wp-admin (directory)
wp-content (directory)
wp-includes (directoy)
index.php
license.txt
readme.html
wp-app.php
wp-atom.php
wp-blog-header.php
wp-comments-post.php
wp-commentsrss2.php
wp-config.php
wp-cron.php
wp-feed.php
wp-links-opml.php
wp-load.php
wp-login.php
wp-mail.php
wp-pass.php
wp-rdf.php
wp-register.php
wp-rss.php
wp-rss2.php
wp-settings.php
wp-trackback.php
xmlrpc.php

Where should I place the .htaccess folder or should I move all of these files to a different directory or create a new directory at the root to house these files?

Again, I don’t want the following web addres to reference my website: https://www.newslogue.com/wordpress/newslogue/

I would prefer just: https://www.newslogue.com
Please help…

Dumb Questions — Did you upload to files into WP folder – OR – did you upload the contents of the WP folder to your DOMAIN account

The later. I uploaded to my domain account.
What do I need to do?

According to what IC

1. root /public_html

2. root/public_html/wordpress (directory)

3. root/public_html/wordpress/newslogue (directory)

The contents of the WP folder should be @ “root/public_html/ CONTENTS

Just a lame brain thought – I don’t use Windows or hosting companies

Referring back to my original post — that would be the .htaccess in your wordpress directory.

As an aside: Why did you install it to https://www.newslogue.com/wordpress/newslogue/ if you don’t want it there?

Not to deliberately contradict you Chris

But he has it working under https://www.newslogue.com/wordpress/newslogue/

He’s trying to get it to work under https://www.newslogue.com

Would the .htaccess control that too?

I’m just curious so I will know better if I deal with it later

Contradict away!

As you could tell by my last post here I finally realized this wasn’t a straightforward “where’s my blog?” post. I guess now we need to understand what’s been done up to this point… (or I need to re-read the original posts to pick up other details I missed.)

Hi Everybody!may i join to the showed problem?

My issue is similar to the one of lexisdomains. My blog ends for .COM/WP/ (www.guadagnare-srivendo.hostei.com/wp/)and when I need to get in my home page for the first time I get into a blank page and have to click on the button wp.I want my regular .com without /wp/ because of google bunning and reasons of optimization.

p.S. the host is always 000webhost, I believe there must be some problem about it!

Well,I think that the question is because I have created a folder wp out the pubblic html.So the solution shoud be to delete this wp folder.But I do not know how to do it and I am preatty dull as computer programmer. No programmer has been able to help me so far and the suggestion up here is mine!

Help,Help you are my last resort!!!!Thanks, Mariangela
