Local Setup - Not redirecting to theme

[UnlikelyFarmer]

Hi,

 

I am helping a friend out with is Prestashop. The current version is 1.5.4.1.

 

I have installed Prestashop locally (Mac, MAMP PRO) and I am able to see and access my admin. 

 

I used the instructions from Priyash in this forum: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/155893-i-cant-moveinstall-live-running-site-on-the-locahost-pls-help/

 

The only thing I cannot figure out is that when I type 'localhost' into my browser, it just displays the index of the root? So 'Index of /' then it lists all the files and folders.

 

Is there some kind of redirect that is not working? As I say I can access the admin fine at localhost/admin, but when I visit localhost it just does not show the website, just the root.

 

I have my prestashop installed in the root, no subfolder like /projectName/. I'm positive I have gone through all the steps renaming ps_shop_url etc. It just does not redirect. I am also not seeing any errors, debugging is turned on.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for the help

Have you tried localhost/index.php
