   Hi guys,

   I have installed wp 2.7, apache and php on my windows 2000 machine. After I get to the admin dashboard I click on the Visit Site link and it sends me to a generic page: index of/

   I am a total noob to wp and haven't a clue. Should I be creating a new page and publishing it as my new index page? I installed wp in the root of my test website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   you need to configure the server for index.php to power a directory

   create an .htaccess file
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29
   add this line in it

   DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

   Also if you want to use permalinks you will need to open the httpd.conf in a text editor and look for
   #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
   remove the # sign and they will work
