Using FileZilla and Wordpress, my index page isn't shown

Question

I'm using FileZilla to put Wordpress on my website. This Website already existed and already had some pages in it, and it does a backup everyday. Unfortunately I can't delete index.html on the backup folder, so even if I use Wordpress to edit themes et cetera, THAT index.html is shown when i go visit the web site.

In the Wordpress folders there isn't a index.html file, only a index.php file, is it normal?

Yes, this is normal because Wordpress uses PHP for dynamic pages.

You can add this to your htaccess to prefer .php over .html

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Or set your wordpress Site in a sub directory of your regular site.

I'm sorry, where do i find my htaccess? – Ales Sep 30 '14 at 07:36
its a hidden file, if you are using linux, you can just press ctrl+h – user3531149 Sep 30 '14 at 07:47
@Ales Or you can just make a file named `.htaccess` and add it to your root of the website (where your index.html and index.php are) – TeeDeJee Sep 30 '14 at 09:07
