 * You need to set **index.php** as your default document on your server. Your host
   should be able to help you with that.

 * Senff is right, you’ll need the file **index.php** in order to get any site to
   pop up at all.
 * However, I’m curious if you’re having an issue because of an _incorrect installation
   of WordPress_?
 * Logging into your host account, it’s easiest to set up WordPress using their 
   1-click installation services that most hosts offer. I would backup your site(
   on desktop), and wipe your website clean from your domain online.
 * Then use the 1-click install service so that WordPress is properly installed 
   on your online website server.
 * I can help from there but don’t want to overload you. Please feel free to email
   me at _[Email redacted]_ for any further help.
