I am currently setting up forums at

http://www.parliaments.fathamburger.com/

However, the index.php (here) page doesn't load by default, instead you can see the folder and its contents. The same thing happens here:

http://www.parliaments.fathamburger.com/forums/

I don't know much about this kind of thing, but is this a problem with my hosting or with the forums?

What can be done so that going to my link automatcially loads the forums?

For example, http://forums.invisionize.com/ automatically loads the forums at http://forums.invisionize.com/index.php?


Thanks!
 
Are you using Apache as a webserver? If so, I know how to fix it. Go to your Apache folder, then the "Conf" subfolder. Open of httpd.conf with notepade. Look for this line of code:

Code:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php

Make sure you add index.php if it is not already listed, which by default, it isn't. Good luck!

Thanks for the fast reply, unfortunately, I'm relatively new to this and I'm not sure if I this hosting uses Apache or not...

Anyway to tell? All I know is I can access it through a control panel @ http://207.44.142.7:8080/psoft/servlet/psoft.hsphere.CP

or through FTP.

Thanks again.

Even your index.html does not load by default. I assume you aren't hosting this yourself? I would contact your host and ask him to fix this. It is on his end, not yours, most likely.

Thanks again for your help, I'll do as you suggested. In the mean time I'll just add an index.html to redirect it to the php file.
