very basic: getting "index of" before index.php loads

hello. i have read the golding book and got cake installed. when i
point my browser to the root directory of my app

http://localhost/myapp

it shows me the list of files instead of loading index.php:

Index of /myapp

Parent Directory
README
app/
cake/
index.php
nbproject/
vendors/

then, when i type in the address of a controller i can see that i have
baked, i get a 404:

http://localhost/myapp/properties

what's interesting is on the file system there is an index.php in .../
myapp/index.php and also .../myapp/app.index.php --- not sure if
i've messed this up myself.

my next move is going to be to build another one from the start. but
before i do that, was hoping someone might help point out to me if
i've missed something obvious.

have i messed something up that might be causing this to happen? i've
searched a lot, but search for "index of" yields a lot of frustration.

thank you.
