# index.php not loading properly

 * I’ve installed the WordPress core at [docroot]/wp/, which corresponds to [http://[domain]/wp/](http://[domain]/wp/).
   I want the WordPress site to load at [http://[domain]/](http://[domain]/), so
   I followed the [instructions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
   for giving WordPress its own directory.
 * Almost everything is working well. If I visit [http://[domain]/page-slug/](http://[domain]/page-slug/),
   the page loads properly.
 * The issue is that there are other files in the [docroot] directory, including
   index.html, which currently takes precedence in Apache as the default page. I
   had assumed I could remove index.html so that Apache would serve index.php by
   default. And indeed, it does appear to be served, but something goes wrong during
   execution. The page hangs, and finally I get a timeout error.
 * Does anybody know what might be causing this, or how to diagnose the problem?
