    I know this question has been asked a number of times but the solutions posted are not clear enough (maybe because the solutions refer to the older version of WordPress)

    Anyhow, I installed WordPress on, let’s say, http://www.example.com/~MyName. The problem is when I go to http://www.example.com/~MyName, I see the Apache Server page with the options to see the “parent directory” or to click on the “wodpress” folder. When I click on the wordpress folder, I can see my blog and login to my admin panel etcetera. My question is how do I make it so such that I see my blog when I go to http://www.example.com/~MyName? I dont want to go there and click on the wordpress folder.

    Thanks, and sorry for the inconvinience.

    open notepad and add this
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
    save as .htaccess

    upload to site
    check and seeif notepad added .txt to file name
    if so rename to just .htaccess with ftp client

    Ok, I did that, but I still have the exact same problem as before. It didnt do anything. Then I tried moving all the files and folders in the “wordpress” folder to the “public_html” folder, meaning that I dont have a wordpress folder anymore. This worked and now my webpage appears when I go to http://www.example.com/~MyName. The problem now is that the main page appears only in text (no headers, graphics etc) and if I click on anything, I get the error, “page not found”. I know this must have somethign to do with the index file. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Jay
