I am hosting a modx website on ixwebhosting.com

After I submitted the site, I get this message when I try and access the root for example:

wwww.website.com/

or

www.website.com/manager/

I can get it to work, however, if I go directly to :

www.website.com/index.php

or

www.website.com/manager/index.php

ixwebhosting.com offers windows hosting

What do you think is causing this?

Right click on the virtual directory (gear icon) in IIS snapin, click Properties.

Check the box that says 'Directory browsing'

Click okay (and possibly?) restart IIS.
