  • Try adding
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
    to the top of your root .htaccess file.

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. I think it may be a different kind of issue, since when I directly browse localhost/[my_wordpress_folder]/index.php
    the result is again the blank page with the file list..

    Are you sure that WordPress was installed correctly?

    Yes, it is. I got the success message after installation, I am able to login correctly, and when I browse the wp-admin/install.php file, I get the following message:

    “Already Installed
    You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.”

    So I suppose that installation has succeded.

    What happens if you try https://example/wp-admin/?

    I see a blank page with the list of files (and folders) contained in
    “wp-admin” folder.

    Is index.php listed?

    Yes, it is. And when I click it, I am redirected to the login form. After login, I see the admin control panel. But when I choose “Visit site” from top left, I see the blank page of my wordpress installation folder with the file list.

    What have you set up for DirectoryIndex in your Apache httpd.conf file?

    Here’s my DirectoryIndex directive

    <IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    </IfModule>

    Should I add index.php?

    Yes.
