index.php not loading by default
Apache needs to be configured to recognize index.php as an index file.
The simplest way to accomplish this..
Create a .htaccess file in your web root.
Add the line...
DirectoryIndex index.php
Here is a resource regarding the matter...

Edit: I'm assuming apache is configured to allow .htaccess files. If it isn't, you'll have to modify the setting in apache's configuration file (httpd.conf)
While adding 'DirectoryIndex index.php' to a .htaccess file may work,
NOTE:
In general, you should never use .htaccess files
This is quoted from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html
Although this refers to an older version of apache, I believe the principle still applies.
Adding the following to your httpd.conf (if you have access to it) is considered better form, causes less server overhead and has the exact same effect:
<Directory /myapp>DirectoryIndex index.php</Directory>
At a guess I'd say the directory index is set to index.html, or some variant, try:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.phpThis will still give index.html priority over index.php (handy if you need to throw up a maintenance page)
