After moving from server to localhost it points to main folder index.html instead of showing the site I had live

Joomla uses index.php as the base, so check the following:

• Delete index.html if it exists

• Check the .htaccess file if it exists for a DirectoryIndex directive. If it looks like:

  DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

  reverse the order of the two file names, or just remove the index.html part.

Additionally from the comments:

Modify your httpd.conf.

Looking at your paste bin try:

• commenting out line 141 which is already defining the mime type - perhaps unnecessarily. I don't have MIME type definitions in my httpd.conf and it works fine, so it may be that the browser does the type interpretation itself without needing to be told by the server what to do with the file.

• on line 258, change the DirectoryIndex directive from

  DirectoryIndex index.html

  to

  DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

  to help with managing the default pages.
