Fanpage Iframe Canvas - need newbie help!

Ok, so this is all being spurred by the recent Facebook changes to fanpages and how there will no longer be any more FBML.

I've setup my developer account to create a canvas for creating some fanpage tabs and I'm having a few difficulties getting to the right page.

Now I'm not really sure if I have the developer settings for the canvas app setup properly but I want to learn this stuff and I am getting the results below... so I think Im doing something right!

This is what I'm getting

As you can see its showing the folder (which is empty) but the PARENT DIRECTORY folder has the PHP/HTML file that I want to have come up. Even if I put a index.htm or index.php file with that background I don't get the page come up below...

When I click on PARENT DIRECTORY i get the following background image of what I want to show up on the image link above??? I'm a little confused by this!

This is what I want

Can anyone offer me some ideas on this or a simple walk through to guide me through the process of what I'm doing wrong?

This is my app page URL

http://apps.facebook.com/facebooksp/

Your help is appreciated...

Mitch

      That was too easy... downloaded the SDK-PHP files, created a config.php file and uploaded the files and now I have a PHP/HTML template setup to create landing pages, welcome pages using facebook's new canvas app iframe process.

      Nice... I do believe that the CSS has to be inline an not through a seperate styles.css file on my server????

      I'm prime for my first Facebook/Iframe landing page now...
