    Hi there guys,

    I have a problem installing WordPress.

    1) I have PHP5
    2) MySQL
    3) latest WordPress 2.8.6

    The problem is that I can't get past the admin login panel (http://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php). I fill the fields with correct details (username, password). Then hit "Log in" and comes this page: Index of http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/ Screenshot here: Screenshot

    How to fix it?

    Thanks in advance everyone.

    Sorry the screenshot went wrong a bit. Here it is: Screenshot

  3. Your server isn't recognizing that index.php is a valid index file.

    Create a .htaccess file and add this line to it:

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

    Or try this: http://simpleshop.org/httpdconf.php

  5. Call the hosting company if you can't log into the server and edit your files.

    Thank you for the help Ipstenu.

    Damn, seems like there is still something wrong.. I uploaded a new theme, and when I click the "visit site" up in the left corner, it shows me that page again, which I already took screenshot..

    Any advice here, would be really helpful.

    Did you put the .htaccess file you created above in your root folder?
