If you can via your cPanel disable indexing of folder contents. If not then ask your host to do it for you.
It could also be that php is not set up correctly and therefore not executing. Once again check with your host.
Just add the following line in .htaccess which is in your blog directory:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm
This line should be on top in your .htaccess file.

Thanks for your advice. Greatly appreciated.
I managed to get my hosting company to fix the problem!!

I have just spent over two hours trying to install word press. I do not know php and I am not familiar with how to do the scripts nor do I know what info to remove from the config-sample.php form.
I am new to this and it seems that word press is just for advanced users of php. I don’t see how it takes 5 minutes to install it when I can not get the config.php form to work.
I think Word Press needs to put a disclaimer in that unless you know how to write php scripts you will not be able to install the program in 5 minutes.
I finally uninstalled it from my website, but not all the files want to uninstall seems there are some permission issues so this will be my next adventure.
Does anyone know of any other blog programs that are not so difficult to install?
I do not know how to write php script either, but installed wp successfully, just spend less than 5 minutes.
5 minutes means you should know how to install a php engine and a mysql database.
