Ok made a text file with nothing in it and change the permissions to 666. Still getting ‘Directory listing is denied.’

Any thoughts as to what to change now. All the other permissions are 777.
OK after the whole day of trying to figure this out it was so simple. Dotster only has defaults documents of –
0 index.html
1 index.htm
2 Default.aspx
3 Default.htm
4 Default.asp
So you just need to add index.php into those default documents. Man so easy! To get to the Default Document listing go to Hosting > Home > Manage Webspace.
Do you still have a .htaccess file in your directory?
If you do there are some things to keep in mind. First I am no expert on the subject but I do know that .htaccess is a powerful tool, in which, you can get yourself into some serious trouble.
This link will tell you how to avoid getting access to the file itself:
Preventing Viewing of .htaccess file
Here is the WordPress Codex on setting permissions correctly:
Changing File Permissions
If you are using .htaccess to control access to the site itself via passwords, this will generate encrypted entries for your file: Byte Converter
