    The only reason (as diablo has pointed out) that this happens is when the browser cannot find a specific file.

    So when you put in a URL for a directory (i.e. www.yoursite.com/directory/), it needs an index file in that directory to load.

    It will not happen for a URL pointing to a file (www.yoursite.com/directory/index.htm)

    There is a way to change this by adding a code to the .htaccess file if you want to keep your filenames the same.

    Sorry the picture cut off the bottom part so you couldn't see the index.php. And yes I do have a index.php file.

    Is it Index.php instead of index.php? (capital I instead of small i).

    Try out putting a test index.htm or index.html that will take precedence over .php and see if it works.

    Yeah, just try uploading an index.htm or index.html file, even just open notepad, dont type anything, file > save as, then type index.htm or index.html as the filename, and set the file type to All Files.
    If not, have a look at your .htaccess file, delete it and make a new one if necessary.
