If you entered a password longer than 8 characters please try entering the first 8 characters when logging into your control panel. How do I get my email?

Domain Path: /var/www/vhosts/yourdomainname.com/httpdocs (puts you in your web directory) Where should I put PHP scripts for my domain? All PHP scripts should be uploaded to the root folder for your domain or in subfolders. Be sure to follow the instructions for the script you are uploading regarding setting permissions on the files and folders you create, as they vary from script to script I uploaded my files, but I don't see my page? If our default Web Hosting page (index.html) has not been replaced by another index page, then anyone going to your domainname.com will still see that default page instead of your home page. This is the order in which the web server looks for a page to put up as the "home" page: DirectoryIndex: index.html, index.php Top of Page |
