New user, first experience with blogging software, and first time install of WP 1.5 on localhost to learn it before I put it up on a remote server. I have Apache, MySQL and PHP installed, all recent versions. Installing WP went perfectly. The only thing I don't understand is when I go to wp-admin/admin.php, all I get is a blank page.
How do I access the admin tools so I can style WP, or do anything else? The documentation is slightly confusing to me, so I had to finally ask here. :-) Thanks for any help.
Yes, when I go to http://localhost/blog/wp-admin/ , I then see the directory listing ("Index of /blog/wp-admin"). So where do I go from there?
you should'nt be seeing a directory listing as when you goto /wp-admin/ it should redirect you to wp-admin/index.php.
You might need to add in a htaccess file the following line as I'm not sure how to manually set it in apache to not list directories:
Options -Indexes
Ah, ok. Thank you. It's very late here now, so I'll try first thing in the morning and post back with how it went.
Ensure that you have index.php added in httpd.conf. Make modification as shown below:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.jsp index.php index.htm
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
angsuman, that was the ticket! Everything is working perfectly now. Thank you!

were do i find the httpd.conf file?
Go to your Apache folder (wherever you placed it on your hard drive), then into the conf folder, and in there is httpd.conf
