Domain going to index of / page instead of home page

Sorry if this is stupid I am new to hosting. I have set up a server with linode and everything is working except when I go to my domain it brings me to a index of page:

Index of /

Name Last modified Size Description [DIR] folder1/ 2016-04-07 15:08 -
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at xx.xx.xx.xx Port 80

I want to have it go to the theme that is in folder 1. I am assuming I need to setup my .htaccess file but when I do it gives me a 500 error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • create htaccess and add:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /folder1 [L]
