Index of / Remove?

[byteninja2]

When I go to my site I just bought and setup wordpress, an index of / page comes up, and than there is a link to wordpress. Can I make the site go to wordpress automatically? balloftech.com

So you want your site to just be your wordpress blog? Correct?
So, for example here's mine
http://kharonsblog.com/
That's what you want right?

Yeah, just go right to the blog.

Rather than creating a folder in the index go ahead and drag the files directly into the root. (this will allow you to setup your wordpress as you once did)

Another option is to go ahead and forward the domain to the balloftech.com/wordpress via cpanel

Login to wordpress as a admin
Left hand side->Settings->General
For both URL's, put in your website.
For example, mine is
http://kharonsblog.com

and that should do it.

That broke my blog, but no hard feelings. The redirect did work thouhg, thanks

What did it break exactly?
Might be because wordpress is in a different directory setup then me. Dunno.
Glad you got what you wanted though.

You redirect anything using your .htaccess file. I can't tell you more because they seem to be pretty enigmatic, but they're awesome at what they do. When the client acecsses an folder, it reads the .htaccess file and decides what to do next.
Can also do other stuff, like, telling the serveer to interpret a .html file as an .php file.
Be careful that the file is by default hidden. You may need to change options on your ftp to see it.
