If I click on the index.html button then it shows my name!

Anytime a directory listing pops up, it's because the server couldn't find an "index.*" file. Generally, servers start with "index.html" and then go through various extensions such as ".xhtml, .php, etc." It's what happened in this case, as Katy said.

Make sure that the "index.html" file is exactly named like that. The server looks for a file named "index.html" and if it doesn't find it, that's when it brings up the directory listing.
