aiiee

ok this is too funny not to post

turns out the files were in the right directory all along.
I had moved them up one, started getting errors, but at least it was reading index.php.

I moved all the php files back where I had them originally…..

now every thing works perfectly.

I had also done an updatedb for the locate command but that shouldn’t have affected anything

ugggghhhh,

and no I’m not drunk, the background of the message box is black ?? I’m not seeing anything I’m typing.

ut that’s ok, nobody else is either !

How can you realistically evenpretend to help people with problems like this? Better just to tell us to b ugger off no?

As it turned out, I had all my wp files in the wrong directory ??

It still doesn’t work but at leat now I am getting errors and it is reading the index.php fiels

in other words if I type php <filename> at a command line prompt, it correctly parses the file

If I even type https://example.com/index.php, it instead displays index.html

apache should display index.php right? Instead it is displaying index.html. That is the problem

I type php index.php at the command line, and it displays the contents of
a html file. how else can I answer your question, i’m new to php

doesn’t that mean that php is “working”?

I can reach phpmyadmin

I can type php index.php at the cli and it displays some html that looks right

Same problem here. If I delete index.html it still doesn’t display index.php, instead it tries to open something called ‘~file”

If I explicity reference index.php in the url, it loads index.html instead!

Ctrl+F5 makes no impact
