Apache shows a directory listing instead of starting an application

when i browse in localhost/PhpMyAdmin i see the content of the directory with the title:

Index of /PhpMyAdmin

instead of starting the application. System info: Windows 7 professional 64bit Apache 2.2 PHP 5.3.5.0 MySql Server 5.6

PhpMyAdmin install from phpMyAdmin-4.2.10-all-languages.zip file

Same result using both config.default.php and config.inc.php in the PhpMyAdmin directory. Thank you in advance for your answer

In your Apache configuration, find the line for DirectoryIndex. You'll need to add index.php to the list. For example, mine looks like:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html home.pl index.cgi

You probably don't need all of those and should only add index.php; don't just copy and paste my line, it's just given as an example.

This is the list of files that Apache looks for to run as the main page of a folder/subdirectory. If it can't find any of the listed files then it generally shows the listing of all files in that directory (which is controlled by mod_autoindex, if you're interested in learning more).
