   Installation seems correct, database created, but when I login I get taken to a file listing off the server. See here:

   Try adding:

   DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

   to the top of your root WP .htaccess file.

   I don't have a root WP .htaccess file

   Was it suppose to install?

   this code is in the index.php file:

   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

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

   does this look right? I am not familiar with ./ before a file name.

   Not via WordPress but could be present on some servers. ensure that your FTP client is configured to show all files, though, as .htaccess files are often hidden by default.

   If you're quite sure than no such file exists, simply create an .htaccess file and add the line I suggested above. Then upload it to your WordPress folder.

   Didn't work, generated a 500 error code.

   Then ask your hosts for assistance.
