  • If I am not mistaken what you’re saying is that you can’t go to dashboard. Kindly guide through your problem a bit more detail I am having a hard time understanding your problems, Thanks

    I can go to dash board. I refer to the top left hand corner ‘site’. If I click here OR go to mydomain.co.za I get an index of the files on mypublic_html. I cannot fathomwhere this index I assume and .html or .php is coming located.
    May I send you my domain name? Terry I see you kindly replied 9 hours ago. Sorry – I had a very busy day with my work and only had a chance to look now

    Hi Do you suggest uninstalling and then reinstalling. I did mention what I can see on the dashboard so it is installed. Its been installed a week. I just do not know where this file is as I cannot get to it any way I try. Including CPanel. I don’t want to get down to serious work till I know if its going to be a problem or not? If uninstalling, do I just delete everything in public_html? And start again?

    Try these Displaying index and I am getting index

    I’m just going to poke my head in here as redeploying seems a bit extreme in this case.

    Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a site on apluswebs.co.za any more, but I would presume the following to be true:

    If you go to apluswebs.co.za you get a list of files, but if you visit apluswebs.co.za/index.php then the pager displays as it should.

    If the statement above is true for you, this is just a configuration issue, your webserver is not set to accept index.php as the first file to automatically load, you can read about it at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dir.html but essentially, you need to add index.php to this configuration line (by default it only adds index.html)
