create a custom .htaccess file (or modify an existing one) that specifies index.php as default index files, like this:

Code: [Select]

DirectoryIndex index.php,index.htm,index.html
More details can be found googling for this (http://www.google.com/search?q=.htaccess+DirectoryIndex) issue (results e.g. http://www.hostingmanual.net/other/htfun.shtml). If this doesn't solve your issue (because your webhost doesn't allow you to have custom .htaccess files or if you're on another webserver than Apache), ask your webhost for support.

This is not related to coppermine at all, but a matter of webserver setup.
