Sounds like an Apache config problem.  I'd guess the DirectoryIndex 
doesn't include index.php.

See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html

You have two options:
1) edit apache config:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

2) enter the full url in your browser:
http://localhost/pmapper/index.php
