    I ran install, installed fine, it emailed me a pssword but when I login I just get a root directory page. Can see all the files in wordpress directory.
    If I try to click index.php it just refreshes directory listing of files.

    I have no htaccess files so not sure what else to check.
    Have installed TWICE but exact same results.

    please help,

    sounds like your host is not parsing php correctly? Or maybe not recognizing index.php as your index page.

    I’d check with your host to see if they can help.

    as a temp fix…possibly creating a .htaccess file in your root with this
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

    may work…….

    I just created a .htaccess file like you said (no htpasswd file, do I ned one?) and now just get this

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    incidently I made a test.php file
    <?phpinfo();?>

    and it executes ok

    also tried diff htaccess variations

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
    AddHandler x-httpd-php .htm .html

    and

    <FilesMatch “\.(htm|html|php)$”>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5
    </FilesMatch>

    all gave same server error as before

    chmodd is 777
