mumbles27 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi forum not sure if this is the right place to askthis but any help greatfuklly recieved. i need to host a website which appears to be written with PHP or using PHP. i know i need to activate PHP and MySQL. my initial question is that a normal HTML website has an index.html or default.html which is placed in the root public HTML folder and the subsequent files and folders are placed with regard to the dir tree they are written in. Is this the case with PHP as the website i have received appears not to have a definitive landing page. If it does its within a folder. not a dunce with regard to HTML so am willing to read if anyone has any links or tips or help... Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/196266-hosting-a-website-written-with-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Generally a server with php installed will configure index.php as a default DirectoryIndex.
