Want a real advice? Give a real link. For URL problems you never “modify the template”. Who told you that?
You were told to modify your template to change your url?
I wouldn’t listen much to that person in the future…
Instead, you want to look at Permalinks.

Do you know if you’re on an Apache server or Windows IIS?

Thanks HandySolo, im on an apache server.
I want my blog homepage to be in the directory I installed WordPress in.
But when i install wordpress, in that directory i get just an index page with all the php files and the wp- folders, not my blog homepage
To see my blog homepage i have to go to ‘options’,
and add index.php to ‘Blog address (URI)’
so i have my blog homepage at mysite.com/index.php/
hope i explained my problem
But when i install wordpress, in that directory i get just an index page with all the php files and the wp- folders, not my blog homepage
Elaborate on that please? You SHOULD see a bunch of php files and wp- folders in your blog’s directory. When you browse to that directory you should see your blog. Is your web server configured to treat index.php as a default page?
Is the example link you gave in your first post really where your blog is?
i have to go to ‘options’,
and add index.php to ‘Blog address (URI)’
Never do that! those URIs should end in a directory, never a file name.
Talk to your host and tell them: “Make index.php a valid index”.

I’ll ask to my server support if my web server is configured to treat index.php as a default page.
Hopefully thats the problem
the example links on my first post were just example links like mysite.com your-site-here.com whateversite.com, im not gonna post an empty index page here so everybody can surf through my server directories 🙂

ok Thanks everybody problem resolved:
my web server wasnt configured to treat index.php as a default page.
Thanks again 🙂
were just example links like mysite.com
The correct way is to use “example.com”
