Having problems might be related to php.ini?

Hi first let be say I dont no much about php server settings and how they effect website scripts.

My first problems is if I go to where I installed Opencart.
http://www.thermalzombie.com/opencart
Nothing will happen it will stay at my http://www.thermalzombie.com blog script to get to the opencart start page I need to type in.
http://www.thermalzombie.com/opencart/index.php

I dont understand why I am having to type in index.php for the page to show the same thing happens with the admin area.

I tried deleting the php.ini file that was in the opencart directory but had no effect.

Thanks for the reply.

PS: I have two domains on the same server so can I have differant php settings for differant domains.

sounds more like .htaccess settings to me.

If it is .htaccess how what do I do any suggestions.

I managed to find a .htaccess file and I deleted it now everything is ok.

Any reason why Dreamweaver and host cpanel filebrowser never see .htaccess files.

typically its a configuration setting to ignore files that start with .
