I am very new to WordPress and tried to install onto my Dotster server today. I looked over the Dotster.com install walkthrough page (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/dotstercom-install-walkthrough) many times and everything is right but when I go to the web it says 'Director Listing Denied' Can anyone think of what I am doing wrong.
Thanks a million, I am pulling my hair out over here,

Try adding DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm to the top of an .htaccess file in your WP folder.

Wow thanks for the quick response. Where exactly is the .htaccess file? I am not too versed in this, can you explain a little bit more.
Thanks!

Ok I just read that website and a few others about htaccess. The one big question I have is what exactly do I put in the htaccess file? Do I just put:
DirectoryIndex
index.php
index.html
index.htm
in a blank file and save as .htaccess?
Another question I have is that I am currently running my site - kidsmatterinc.org and I have added wordpress as in a folder - kidsmatterinc.org/wordpress. I want to continue with the old site until I make the new site. First, is this the right thing to do or do I need to host the wordpress site somewhere else first? Second, will the .htaccess work in this folder?
Thank you so much for your help!
