default.php vs index.php

    I’ve installed Word Press. When I go to mysite.com/blog/ it takes me to default.php where I get a “Page Not Found” error. Seems like it should be redirecting me to index.php, but it doesn’t go there by default.

    Same thing happens when I log in as the admin. It redirects me to mysite.com/blog/wp-admin/ and again looks for default.php instead of index.php. So I end up at default.php with another “Page Not Found” error.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    are you sure that default.php isn’t the host’s placeholder file? rename it and see what happens

    Okay, that gave me an idea. I went into my .htaccess file and specified that index.php, not default.php, should be the starting page. And now everything works. Thanks!
