 * Hi
 * I have set up my own server (apache) on my computer and everyhting is working
   fine. I can log in, post to the blog and everyhting.
 * BUT. when i go to the wordpress directory by writing [http://localhost/wordpress](http://localhost/wordpress),
   the index.php file doesnt load, instead I get a large page with info about all
   the files in the directory and installing information, among else. Why? Same 
   thing happens in the wp-admin directory. But in other directories I do myself(
   not in the wordpress directory) index.php files load automatically.
 * Thank you in advance

 * I tried to change the blog url to wordpress/index.php in options in the admin
   pages. I shouldnt have done that. Now I cant log in anymore and everyhting look
   mezzy 🙁 Where can I change it back? So the category is wordpress and not wordpress/
   index.php. I changed both url:s on the options page…

 * do you have phpMyAdmin installed? [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/)
 * Your initial question would be a good one for an Apache group. Essentially, you
   need to configure Apache to know that index.php is a default page for the directory.

 * Everything solved!! I just made a new database, reinstalles with install.php 
   and all problems got solved. Really strange but I guess somethng went wrong during
   the first wordpress install.
