URL not showing correctly
Hello guys. I've just installed wordpress 2.7 by uploading to my public html on 000webhost. However, when I type in my web address [Newslogue.com], wordpress shows the following:
Index of
1. Parent Directory
How do I get this to show my regular url: Newslogue.com?
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: http://www.newslogue.com/wordpress/newslogue/
I would prefer just: http://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
Posted 8 months ago #
The later. I uploaded to my domain account.
What do I need to do?
Posted 8 months ago #
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 http://www.newslogue.com/wordpress/newslogue/ if you don't want it there?

Not to deliberately contradict you Chris
But he has it working under http://www.newslogue.com/wordpress/newslogue/
He's trying to get it to work under http://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
