Once I clicked on this link I was instead directed to a directory listing of where WordPress was installed. I was pretty sure a simple .htaccess file in my blog directory would solve the problem, which was\u00a0reiterated\u00a0in several forums (ie.\u00a0http:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/topic\/181297). This did not prove to be the only problem though. \u00a0After, trying numerous other suggestions discovered on the web for fixing the directory listing problem, I threw in the towel and sent my hosting company&#8217;s customer service an inquiry about the problem.\u00a0\u00a0It turns out that since I use a hosting company meant for java (ie., jsp, servlets, etc.) Tomcat trumps Apache .htaccess files. Simple solution is to ask them to unmap a directory. In my case, I asked them to unmap the blog directory where I have installed the php based WordPress. Now everything works fine, so I wanted to share this solution for anybody else who may encounter this problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my first blog here I would like to mention something about installing WordPress.
