Do you have in index.php file in the same directory as the rest of your WP files?
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
usually goes into an Apache file.
Create a file in notepad, write “Hello you” then save it as “index.html”
Upload that to the wp directory where index.php is
Does that show up ?
If so, delete it and press ctrl-f5 to force a page reload.
If your blog does not load, tell your host to add
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
to the apache httpd.conf file
you need to do as podz explained. httpd.conf needs to be modified:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
Sorry I missed that. I have a Cpanel. Can I do that from there?
I don’t think so (i don’t have Cpanel access at this machine). Just email your host and ask them the best way to edit your httpd.conf file.
I had the same problem. I tried everything detailed here with no change. Any other directory I had defined as a site under apache came up as expected if an index.html was present. The only way I got around the problem was to change the name of my wordpress root folder. I’m still not clear on why this should be, but it does ring a vague bell.
…and now, after giving that a go, I find the site comes up perfectly with the name changed BACK to wordpress. Dear me.
I’ve got the same situation..
We can’t do it through cpanel?
I’m getting frustrated.
