Only showing directory file listing (index)

    I have an installation of WP 2.7 set up, but all I’m getting on the main page is the directory file listing (Index of…). When I click on the index.php file or try to load it directly, I get this:

    <?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    It was working fine at first, but there was an issue with files being created with owner = nobody, so the root user/admin fixed that, but didn’t change anything else.

    Here’s a screenshot of what I get when I try to load the page: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3425/3364827899_4770aab411_o.gif

    add this to your .htaccess
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

    It looks like what happens when a server isn’t reading index.php files, but if you’ve managed to install WP ( rather than just upload the files ) that doesn’t make sense.

    What is your url?

    I made sure to read through any other forum posts I could find with similar problems before posting and had come across the solution of adding that line to the .htaccess file, tried it, still didn’t work.

    The url is http://www.wiu.edu/bands/marchingbandalumni/

    Possibly your Sun-ONE-Web-Server isn’t configured to use htaccess. Unless you have access to server configuration you’ll probably have to get help with this from your host. But maybe samboll knows something about Sun One that I don’t.

    As per the norm

    Word Press Install may well be a piece of cake install with Fantastico but for a complete first timer using filezilla and OOOwebhost it has proven to be a real monster.

    I have watched 6 or seven google videos downloaded 2.9.2 got it up to the file directory and even have seen the files propagate once as a list down the side of my web site home page but as to actually seeing the bloody intro page in www. domain name. com/wp-admin./install.php well that is a no show .

    I can not understand why this forum does not immediately post a full video with every upgrade, for the manual install.
    Changing the config file is not so bad but understanding how to get filezilla to pass over the files to the server and get the file directory to cooperate to get them all set up in the public_html is truly awful.

    I have cleaned out the files 5 times today re loaded them to the webhost and played around with the database settings.

    There is no clear place that shows where to click exactly so I am clicking back and forth between the filezilla and the file directory hoping for a breakthrough.

    Of course I appreciate that this is a voluntary group and I am ranting…but in this day and age when you have posterous I just don’t see why it has to be so difficult.

    Of course it looks easy as pie when you watch a video but there is always some difference in the actual performance.

    Yes, the clicks are tempermental.

    How can I get the WP files that are all in the swerver file directory into public html or wherever so I can get going with a simple blog?

    I don’t care about many blogs or sub directories or complexity…….
    I just want to get on with writing in plain English.

    Thank you in advance for any ideas including advil and prozac.

    Well, now it is 10:40Pm in Yokohama, Japan

    I have got the wp files in the public_html root directory but I am getting an error in establishing a data base connection …quelle joy.

    I suppose I will have to trundle off to another part of the forum to learn all about that after I reconfigged the config file ….and put all the correct database ids and passwords in.

    I am exhausted but I am not giving up until this b******works.

    See you in the morning.

    You know I bet 000 webhost is not giving fantastico to us on purpose. It is a ploy to get us to upgrade.

    AHHHHHH…taht ‘s all folks….except to say I truly appreciate the work the experts have done to grok the ins and outs of root directories, ftp, and file directories.

    It never appealed much to me but I can recognize that a skill is involved …sort of like a modern day stone mason.

    Best,
