    Hi !

    Finally I got hosting account and buy it just to install WordPress via Fantastico ( I am long time blogger, but want much powerful engine as before).
    So, I made installation but my blog is accesible only if I type http://www.mydomainname.com/index.php. Probably I didn’t install it into right directory.
    I want to be my blog on main page , http://www.mydomainname.com ,
    How do I do that ? What I need to do ? Please, help !

    The only explaination I can come up with for this is that your web host does not have index.php defined as an index by default.

    When someone hits http://www.yourdomainname.com, the server checks it’s configuration files to see what it’s supposed to show them. Usually it conains index.php, or index.cgi, etc.

    If none of those files exist, then it doesn’t work. I would kindly ask your host how to remidy this.

    put an .htaccess file with

    DirectoryIndex index.php

    in it.

    The server needs to know what kind of file to look for as the file to serve if only a directory is specified.

    That would be my guess to fix your problem.
