Index.php not resolving(?)

[testera]

I'm not sure if "resolving" is the correct term but I have an index.php file in my public_html directory and it doesn't display the page when I go to the site.

What could be the issue?

I added a test index.htm file to the same directory and it did display when I went to the site.

Any clues or suggestions?


I forgot to mention that I just transferred (or tried to) transfer this site from one host to a new host. Maybe my transfer didn't work properly...but the index.php did transfer.

Thanks.

What web server are you running? Try fully qualify the page first (www.mywebsite.co\index.php) instead of just the site (www.mysite.com). If this works, you need to change the site to default to index.php instead of index.htm or index.html. If that doesn't work, then you site doesn't support PHP. Not all of them do.

Also it might be case sensitive.

I tried www.mywebsite.co\index.php
and it didn't load either. Maybe my new host doesn't support php. hmmmm
http://www.mywebsite.co\index.php

Are you running apache+php?

Is the httpd.conf file setup to respond to php files? (Assuming that apache is compiled with php).

What happens when you make a file called "a.php" and within a.php, put:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then go to http://www.mysite.com/a.php

^ This. I was about to post the same exact things just from reading the title.

Embarrassingly I don't know if I have apache+php.

When I load a.php it gives me a page titled,
"PHP Version 5.3.27"

It's a web server configuration issue.

The question is do you need a dynamic index page?

Just put in a redirect in the index to your index.php which can be named whatever you like.
