    What happens if you go to localhost/wordpress/index.php?

    If you edit the .htaccess file in the wordpress directory, and put this in it at the top (first line):
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    Then index.php becomes the directory index file for that directory. But given that it appears to work already with your wp-admin folder, I’d say that that may not be necessary.

    If I go to localhost/wordpress/index.php I get a 404 not found error.

    I don’t seem to have a htaccess file. Is that a problem?

    Yes, that is a problem, but not as big of a problem as the appearant fact that you have no index.php file. How do you access the blog itself, as opposed to the admin screen? It kinda sounds to me like your installation of WordPress was done incorrectly in the first place.
