WordPress.org

   Installed WP locally, running it on Apache and mySQL. Installation went pretty smooth. But..

   When trying to access localhost:8080 I only get a directory listing of WP root. When clicking index.php the page just reloads and I see the dir listing again.

   wp-admin/index.php works and I can configure my WP, but when clicking the "back to site" in the top left, I'm back to the dir listing.

   Any ideas?

   Regards

   problem with your directory!

   upload your wordpress files to your root directory not the whole wordpress folder

   your directory should be htdocs\wordpress files not htdocs\wordpress folder\wordpress files.

   Thanks for your answer!

   Re-installed everything and put wordpress in my root dir, but WP still acts the same way. I'm really confused here.

   you don't put the whole wordpress folder, you just put the files inside the wordpress folder

   if i have a folder named wordpress then it has files like file1, file2, file3, what i am going to upload are just the file1 file2 and file3

   your root directory is htdocs right? so instead of htdocs\wordpress it will be htdocs\file1,file2,file3

   i hope this clears everything
