I was able to google enough info to allow me to turn off directory browsing and include index.php in the list of defaults. It works now. Thanks!!! I never mentioned how many hours I spent modifying config and ini files just to get WordPress to load in the first place. I wish I would have known about “compliant” servers earlier. I expect the next brick wall I hit will cause me to replace what I have now with yours. Thanks again for your guidance on this.

I would not mind using another compliant server. Are what you mentioned in your previous post links to compliant servers? If so, which would you recommend? I am assuming I should uninstall Apache, PHP and Mysql before loading something new to prevent possible conflicts. Is this correct? Would I also want to do a reinstall of WordPress?

I am using Apache 2 on Windows XP with PHP version 5.2.17. The site root where WordPress “has it’s wp-config.php file, and most notable: index.php.”, is htdocs. This is also where Apache installed it’s index.html file and default page stuff. When I first tried my site name link the index.html caused the original Apache default web page to load. I removed all Apache files from this site root and rebooted my computer. Now all I get is an index of the contents of the htdocs folder. I should also probably mention that when I first tried to load the WordPress Dashboard, I got nothing until I appended index.php to the end of the url I was supplied by the install.
