Making test WordPress work

I installed WordPress successfully in my test directory off of my active site. When I try to log into it www.catalina380.org/newwebsite I just get a list of files in the directory. At one point I actually got a login and successfully logged in. If I enter www.catalina380.org/newwebsite.index.php, I get the site but trying any links on the site takes me back to a file listing.

What else do I have to do to get into the test site?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Try taking a look at the following KB article:
http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a882/directory-content-shown-in-php-applications.aspx

The problem is because index.php isn't a default file, and once you add it, it'll work just fine.

 

I tried creating the web.config file and put it into the subdirectory of my site where the new test site is located, i.e. catalina380/newwebsite. I presume that is where the file is supposed to be located.

Alas, this didn't fix the issue. Any other suggestions?

 

Issue resolved: I had to use IIS Tools to turn off browsing of directories and also to define the default file to be index.php. Works now.

Issue closed.

 

Glad you got it worked out, thanks for posting the fix.
