 * Each time we log in we go to the WordPress directory on the server (similar to
   an FTP view). We can point it directly to index.php, but when you click on login
   it still takes you back to the directory and the FTP view. Same goes for all 
   the links on the login page.

 * What browser are you seeing this in? If you have a link that could help to picture
   the problem.

 * This occurs in both firefox and internet explorer. this is the link to our blog.
   As you can see the the page listing is just a directory, and not the actual page.

 * What webserver are you running? If Apache, you have to get the DirectoryIndex
   set properly.
 * You will find this in the httpd.conf file as:
 * DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.htm index.php
 * If you are running your website on a webhost and they support PHP, then they’ve
   done a very bad job of setting up your account.
