 * I have got the system installed with one problem when I browse to the URL/wordpress,
   I get the index of wordpress. How do I set the system up to get the main page
   to show up instead of the Index of/wordpress? Is there documentation that goes
   further into issues such as this?

 * Either all of the files didn’t go up, or you are having a problem with php. Upload
   all your files again and see if that fixes it, if not, contact your host to see
   if they support php and to make sure it is working.

 * This is hosted on my server. I have successfully tested php5 through terminal.
   I have not successfully tested through firefox browser. Do you know of any fairly
   simple ways to test php? I have built the test file and again works in terminal
   but not through browser???

 * I have now successfully tested php on my browser as well. How the heck to I get
   to my blog home page instead of going to index.php? For instance if I type test.
   com/wordpress I still get the index instead of the main page.

 * Is it showing an Index of /wordpress page, or is it showing your index.php file
   from wordpress?
    You can test php by creating an info.php file and putting the
   following code into it:
 * > <?php
   >  phpinfo(); ?>
 * If you have a different page you would like to be your home page instead of your
   standard index.php from wordpress and you are on linux hosting you can set which
   page should be the primary page in your .htaccess. here is an example:
 * > DirectoryIndex home.html index.html index.htm index.php
 * The first priority page would be home.html, followed by index.html, etc.
