First, thanks for this post. I’ve had the same problem, and elminiating the index.html worked for the intial portion.
Now, the second problem (probably related to the first, and also because I’m a newby)…
— I can get to the blog fine, but if I click on any of the links (comment, category, etc.) it takes me to the blog root directory file list—not desirable!
I’d appreciate your help in figuring out what I may be missing – why would it do this?
