# Cannot see wordpress pages

 * Already had PHP 5.2.0RC3-dev and MySQL 5.0.24 installed and on speaking terms.
   Downloaded WordPress 2.7 and installed it’s default config on W2K3. When logging
   in as admin, instead of seeing a wordpress page, I see a listing of items in 
   the wp-admin directory. I can navigate there and open the edit-pages, then navigate
   to other admin pages (add users, add posts), but when I try to preview, I see
   a blank page.
 * The only thing that looked useful in other posts is to remove the htaccess.html
   file, but this made no difference.
 * Suggestions welcome – thanks.

 * Solution 1
    If allowed by your host, putting this in an .htaccess file will solve
   the problem: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
 * Solution 2
    Some hosts allow you to make a change, via their hosting control 
   panel, to the DirectoryIndex. It’s typically described as Indexes or Index documents,
   but may also require you to type something like `DirectoryIndex index.html index.
   htm index.php` or specify index.php as an index type file.
 * Solution 3
    Instruct Apache to treat index.php as an index file. If you own the
   server, or have access to the http.conf file, simply modify the DirectoryIndex
   line in httpd.conf to: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
 * Solution 4
    Contact your host
