I installed Radiant on my localhost and it worked great. I installed it  
with my host and now when I go to the url without any controller or  
action  
specified i simply get a directory view. How do I get Radiant to show  
the  
default page?

Thanks,  
Chris

It’s likely that your host is not passing requests on to Radiant. What  
type of configuration is it?
