When I log into my WP for the first Time…

    So, after many moons of trying to get my php files to execute, I finally got it all working (with tons of help!).

    Now, after I’ve gone through the install.php process and logged in with my username and password, I get a directory of files. Wasn’t I supposed to see something different, like an admin page or console of some sort?

    As per the discoveries of my last issue with getting my php files to execute, I did check to make sure that I did not remove those notorious little rectangles. The wp-admin.php file is original.

    I will investigate to see if any other pages are different, but I have reason to believe that I made no other changes to any other files accept the wp-config.php file (and one other, which I corrected).

    Does anyone have any input as to why I did not find myself in the wp-admin file or the index.php of that folder?

    Thanks.

    Nope. I’ll do that now.

    It still doesn’t recognize the index.php. I have to click on it whenever I go into a new directory.

    I added that new code to the end of the httpd.conf file. Does it matter where in that file I place that code? I wouldn’t have thought so.

    It’s working.

    You were basically right. I had to add those options into the httpd.conf file. However, I did it wrong the first time.

    In my file, there was no <IfModule dir_module>…</IfModule> surrounding the DirectoryIndex portion. It was just “DirectoryIndex” followed by the options for indexes to bring up.

    It was also right around the area you mentioned where you “AllowOverride” stuff.

    Thanks for the help!

    I have no idea. That’s odd – usually when you see the directory structure, that means that php isn’t set to be looked for and be served.

    I’m at a loss now – unless you want to try the .htaccess – version. Basically does the same thing. Just create an .htaccess file and have it say:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
    and save it in the root of your localhost area.

    I don’t know *why* that would work if adding it to your httpd.conf wouldn’t. But if you wanna try it, might as well see what happens. But if that doesn’t work, then I’m at a loss!

    Oh cool. Well there you go ??
