    I am running a test server on Vista 64 using
    1. Apache 2.2.11
    2. PHP 5.2.10
    3. MySQL 5.1.35

    PHP is working fine.

    Problem:
    Wordpress installs fine, but when i login i am getting ‘Index of /wordpress/wp-admin’ which lists the file instead of the blog screen in the browser. What could be the problem here

    Hi there.

    I’ve just experienced the same problem, and I’m running the exact same set up as you except on Win XP. Here is how I fixed it.

    You will need to do the following…

    – Open up the “conf” folder in your Apache directory

    – Open “httpd” file

    – Add the following to the “DirectoryIndex” line which is around half way down the file (the index.html might already be on that line) – index.html index.htm index.php – make sure you put the spaces in as well.

    – Save and close

    – Restart Apache

    This will tell your Apache server to accept those types of files as index files.

    Hopefully this solution should be as simple and painless to you as it was to me.

    Good luck.
