    Check the file rights. They should be readable by the apache user.

    Try to create an empty index.php file and place it in the root directory.

    Looks like the .html files are not included in the DirectoryIndex directive or there is something wrong with your index.html file name.

    Not a good idea to leave your htaccess file writeable like that. Change it to 644 at the most.

    make sure when you click on a link to your site that the web browser points exactly to the location and doesnt have extra numbers or figures in front of it....

    Check to make sure that all folders in this path /home/bisyell/public_html have a minimum of 755 permissions so that they're readable. Maybe your public_html has incorrect permissions.
