Ok my whole installation process was painless. it's the installation got successful too, got email also. but a weired glitch pooped up.
I am installing in root directory: feretris.com/
used subdomain installation. Now the blog is running fantastic. But i can't access it when i type---
http://feretris.com/ or
www:feretris.com/
instead i can access when i type full path http://feretris.com/index.php
Any clue any one what seems to be the issue here.
Is there a blank index.html in the folder on the server? If so, nuke it.
(it was probably plunked there by your host)
Feretris,
Your webserver does'nt recognize index.php file as the main page of a directory. SO to fix that, make sure that the following lines is in your httpd.conf
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
Strange as I could have sworn that Apache lists about a dozen file types in order as a default.
I already nuked the default index.html, but still don't know from where that ghost file is appearing. By the way as you can see the site is hosted in lunarpages, together with another addon domain. Surprising in that addon domain where i already run a normal WordPress(not MU) index.php is recognize (since in that domain my site is up for nearly 3 months).
mozey member my server already recognize index.php; my adon domain is the example. any other advice guys?
Oh forgot here is my .htaccess file
php_flag register_globals 0
php_flag display_errors 0
