app.yaml apparently not redirecting correctly

I've been trying to set up a basic Wordpress site with Google App Engine's new PHP SDK, following these instructions.

From what I understand, app.yaml is where the process kicks off and should work similar to .htaccess (re routing).

Google instruct you to drop your wordpress files into a wordpress folder, so your directory structure looks like this:

.
    ├── app.yaml
    ├── cron.yaml
    ├── php.ini
    └── wordpress
        ├── index.php
        ├── license.txt
        ├── readme.html
        └── (etc)

So their template app.yaml should work, including the following lines:

- url: /wp-cron.php
  script: wordpress/wp-cron.php
  login: admin

- url: /xmlrpc.php
  script: wordpress/xmlrpc.php

- url: /(.+)?/?
  script: wordpress/index.php

But localhost:8080 gives me my app folder's directory structure, instead of the anticipated wordpress/index.php. I tried this as well:

- url: /.*
  script: wordpress/index.php

Any ideas?

Note: I verified that wordpress/index.php exists, by the way.

As a quick fix, I moved the wordpress contents to the root and changed the YAML. So it must need an index.php in the root or something. Still would be curious to know what's up, so I'll leave this question posted. – Kyle Cureau
What else do you have in your app.yaml? I'm using those same lines and its working fine. You could have a conflicting statement. – Morgan O'Neal
@MorganO'Neal, besides the attempt at url: /.*, I have the exact same contents as those found on: developers.google.com/appengine/articles/wordpress It doesn't work even with the default app.yaml template (for me). – Kyle Cureau
did you create an php.ini as instructed in wp on app engine article? – Spikolynn
Today your structure in problem worked for my wordpress..!! instead of answers. – Roon13

GAE's dev_appserver will never list the directory structure. Sounds like you might be hitting some other web server running on your localhost?
