  • Try adding:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

    to the top of your root WP .htaccess file.

    Thanks for the quick reply esmi.
    Did not work however. Still displays the directory listing.
    🙁

    Soooooo weird that the admin works and the blog does not!?
    Would it matter that the Front Page is supposed to display a static page ?

    It shouldn’t do. Are you using pretty permalinks?

    No esmi, I am not using the friendly URLs.
    My client is supposed to be live tomorrow AM – perhaps I’ll get the DNS updated and see if that makes a difference. Argh.

    Thanks a lot for your help – anything else you could think of would be great.

    esmi – this is in the Apache error log :

    [Wed Mar 24 20:03:08 2010] [error] [client 99.246.183.27] client denied by server configuration: /home/domain/public_html/.htaccess
    [Wed Mar 24 20:03:08 2010] [error] [client 99.246.183.27] client denied by server configuration: /home/domain/public_html/.htaccess

    It must be from the DirectorIndex directive ?????

    DUH!

    esmi – thank you so much for your help.
    I went looking for the index file at the root – and of course it was not there!

    Thanks for your time – sorry it was a pebak error! But you put me on the right track.
