When I log In it just goes to an index page.

I installed a theme page and everything seemed to work ok except when I click on “visit site” it takes me back to the doggone index page.

So when you click the ‘visit site’ link, it takes you to your site and you’re … upset about that?

That’s what it’s supposed to do.

What were you expecting?

No it does not take me to my site. It takes me to that index page that has the long list wp-admin-indexes

It has the long list of what is in your site. I can go down to “Install themes.php” click on it and it takes me to the admin page inside my site. I can install a theme, I can make a post, I can install plugins, I can do almost everything that you might want to do.
But then when I click on “Visit Site” it does not bring up my home theme page, it just goes back to that Wp-admin-indexes page.

I can open up my theme page by going to my site address in my browser https://……../cgi-bin.
And the theme page will come up but if I go down and try to log in it takes me back to that “wp-admin-indexes” again.

Norm here again. I just thought I would paste in that wp-admin-indexs page I am talking about. This is where fantastico took me after I clicked on finish installation. This is where I get taken when I log in. This is where I am taken from my admin page when I click on “visit site”.
Normally I would expect to be taken to my home theme page.

cgi-bin!?

What site url did you use in Admin/Settings/General?

My domain url
https://normsgreenpower.com

I’m in the same boat. I had a basic HTML site loaded previously. I loaded wordpress thru Fantistico. I can login to the admin and everything seems to be there, the site url is set to my registered domain beforeshock.com, but when I go to that domain, i see my old HTML site. I removed the old index.html file thinking it might look for a wordpress file, but now i just a directory list like normmalone is describing. Any ideas would be appreciated. THX Doug

Here is the question worded a different way, what is the file/script that should run to start my page? My host is expecting index.??? Fantistico didn’t create that file, i just left the old one in place. If i knew the name of the main index file for wordpress, I could create an index file to point there. thanks

It is ìndex.php` but since there are many in WP, it is the one with this content:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

No it does not take me to my site. It takes me to that index page that has the long list wp-admin-indexes

Can you screenshot that? I think I know what you’re saying, but I want to be sure.

Also, what’s the URL it’s sending you to?

Here is where it takes me when I click on “Visit Site”
The site url is https://normsgreenenergy.com

Finally got it fixed but I can’t tell you how. I finally called my hosting company and we went thru the installation 3 times, going all the way back to removing my addon domain name and then re-entering the addon.
Removed my domain site from wordpress re-installed, but would only go to that “index of” page.
The hostgator guy got his administrator involved and they discovered some xt file or something that was missing from the index list. He put it in there on their end and everything works great now.
