WordPress on /index Not Working, .htaccess Not Working

I installed wordpress on /index/. I want to have the WordPress file at domain.com/index load when people go to domain.com.

I read that you can copy your index.php file and .htaccess file to the root. But my WordPress didn’t have any .htaccess files created.

Then I wrote a text file and uploaded it as .htaccess to the root with this text:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /index/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

It still didn’t work, so I added, this .htaccess file to /index/:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

It still doesn’t load index. Going to http://www.domain.com just loads a blank white page.

Now I go to WordPress.org help forum after failing.
