Have you set up your web browser so it accepts index.php as one of the default web pages (like index.htm, index.html, default.htm and so on)…
Yes, I checked and it does accept index.php as the default page.
Well, then you are stuck in the same way as I am right now. I believe the problem is NOT …\wordpress\wp-admin but the redirection from the login page that is (probably) not complete. If it makes you feel better, I could enter the URL of wp-admin manually and got it to work, to some extent.
Right now I have two “suspects” in this matter:
– the web server (I do NOT use Apache)
– the PHP version and/or php.ini, I have seen before that WP did not work with PHP5 in the past…
Anyway, I doubt you will ever get any reply here. I tried to get somebody to send me an output from phpinfo() from a working WP-installation. Not a single answer up to now…
My conclusion:
– either nobody here can get WP to work in any environment
OR
– we are just on our own.
I was having trouble getting index.php recognized (Solaris, Apache), so I added the following index.html file to both my wordpress main directory and wp-admin:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0; URL=./index.php”>
</head>
</html>
Theoretically I shouldn’t “need” this file, but I couldn’t get WordPress to work without it.
Good luck.

noelzia’s error message refers to the wp-admin on his local ‘c’ drive – it should be your copy on your remote server you should be pointing to.
Gerri, did you ever try modifying the apache httpd.conf file to accept it?
Specifically:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
I am trying to run wp on my localhost via my php editor (PhpEd), which includes built-in php and mysql. So that’s why it’s looking for wp-admin on my C: drive. And it is, in fact, on my C: drive, right where it should be. Perhaps I just can’t run wp in this environment, although I have no trouble with other php scripts.
